Produktbeschreibung

Neither Out Far Nor In Deep

Seventeen-year-old Kadeem Johnson has just been suspended-again. His mother, fed up with his choices, makes a drastic decision: she's sending him to St. Kitts to live with the grandfather he barely knows.

Kadeem is sure this is just a punishment, a temporary exile from his real life. But the island has its own lessons-tough ones. No WiFi. No video games. No way out. Just long days, strict rules, and a school where he doesn't fit in.

But as the days stretch on, Kadeem begins to see St. Kitts differently. There's something about the island-the people, the stories, even the silence-that starts to get under his skin. Maybe this place isn't just somewhere he was sent. Maybe it's trying to teach him something.

A coming-of-age story about unexpected second chances, family, and finding yourself in the last place you'd expect.

"A compelling coming-of-age story set against the vibrant backdrop of St. Kitts." - Kirkus Reviews

Readers' Favorite (Pikasho Deka, 5-Star Review): "Full of humor and heart, Neither Out Far Nor In Deep is a charming coming-of-age story that puts a smile on your face. Kadeem's evolution from a naive city brat to a young man embracing the island life feels authentic and organic... If you're looking for a well-written coming-of-age tale, this is the book for you."

Readers' Favorite (Michaela Gordoni, 5-Star Review): "Leah T. Williams does a great job of getting into the head of a teenage boy. Neither Out Far Nor In Deep is a brief and entertaining read that will interest teens, helping them step outside their own perspectives to learn about other cultures."

Readers' Favorite (K.C. Finn, 5-Star Review): "These kinds of cross-cultural exploration books are essential reading for schools and youngsters everywhere... Neither Out Far Nor In Deep is a highly recommended read, filled with high-quality emotional drama, sociocultural depth, and a central character you're sure to adore."
