    About this ebook

    Being in high school sucks. Just ask Richard “Tex” McKenna, a Kansas sophomore. Dealing with bullying, burgeoning love, the loss of parents, and dodge ball is bad enough. To top it off, he's just found out he's a witch! Oh, and fellow students are being murdered. The suspicious eyes of local law enforcement are looking right at Tex and his loyal group of friends. And so is the killer. Will Tex's new-found skills prove helpful? Or cause even more problems?

    Stuart R. West

    Stuart R. West is a lifelong resident of Kansas, which he considers both a curse and a blessing. It's a curse because...well, it's Kansas. But it's great because…well, it’s Kansas. Lots of cool, strange and creepy things happen in the Midwest, and Stuart takes advantage of them in his books. Call it “Kansas Noir.” Stuart writes thrillers, horror and mysteries usually tinged with humor, both for adult and young adult audiences. Stuart spent 25 years in the corporate sector and had to bail, splitting his time between writing and real estate. He’s married to a professor of pharmacy (who greatly appreciates the fact he cooks dinner for her every night) and has a 29 year old daughter who’s dabbling in the nefarious world of banking. If you're still reading this, you may as well head on over to Stuart's blog at: http://stuartrwest.blogspot.com/ It's what all the cool kids are doing.

      Guys are not witches. Guys are warlocks or wizards. Aren’t they? Well, if you’re Richard “Tex” McKenna, you take after your mother and are a witch, even though you’re a guy. So what does a fellow do when he learns the truth about himself?In Author Stuart R. West’s YA Novel, TEX, THE WITCH BOY, fifteen-year-old Tex has to deal not only with his heritage from his mother, who recently died with cancer, but with the football bullies in his school as well. When one of the bullies is found murdered, Tex becomes a suspect. To learn the truth about who killed the boy, Tex needs more help than his father can provide so he consults Mickey, a friend of his late mother’s, who is also a witch. I’m not going to give away the plot, but a lot happens in this story. Add Olivia, the girl who likes Tex, and my favorite character, a couple more dead boys, and you have a mystery that Tex and his friends must solve before more victims are discovered. When Tex conjures up a spell to identify the guilty party, things go haywire, and he wishes he’d let well enough alone.TEX, THE WITCH BOY is a fast action story that will keep you guessing who the bad guy(s) are. I kind of suspected, but wasn’t sure until the end. The characters are well developed, each with his/her own personality. The author has written a story about family, friends, bullies, and what happens when bullying goes too far and ruins the lives of others. Recommended for tweens, teens, parents, and teachers, both the bullied and the bullies, who might just see the harm they’re doing and how it affects them all.###

      I'm serious people: go grab a copy of this book! I seriously loved it. I'd heard good things from friends before I started it, and was definitely curious, but I had no idea how awesome it would be. And how funny! I seriously laughed a lot, especially with Olivia. What a awesome character. Tex was also very real, and very complex. I seriously felt like I knew him by the time I finished. Great pacing, great world building, great mystery (which I actually didn't guess correctly, lol!), and overall a book I highly recommend.

      I'll also point out that this book deals with something I find very important: bullying. I was shocked at some of the antics the students perpetrated against each other, and was horrified that they got away with them! Then to read at the end that West has seen all of these things occur in real life? Blew my mind. Hats off to West for such a realistic edge to this story, and helping people realize how much impact it has, along with encouraging ways to help battle bullying.
