Get your copy of “ Wild Child” sci fi YA triller in my room Junk to Jazz at The Stonehouse

Getting kids to let go of the glowing rectangle in their hands is harder than ever now—especially since school is out until September.

If you have a teenager, grandchild, or niece/nephew in your life, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

"Read a book? That’s sooooo boring."

To be fair, kids can learn a tremendous amount from apps and videos. But let’s face it: a lot of what’s out there is just mindless garbage designed to reinforce dopamine hits and short attention spans.

It’s summer, for heaven’s sake! Since when is going outside, getting fresh air, and enjoying nature "old fashioned"? ☀️

And what better way to do it than to take a book along? Not a heavy, 400-page classic assigned at school, but something fast, thin, and impossible to put down.

That’s the exact description of my sci-fi thriller, Wild Child.

It’s about two teenagers, Kyle and Briana, who discover a magical substance in a sleepy lake that seems to heal all wounds and give a person superpowers. I have never met a young reader who can read more than a couple of pages and stop—it takes off like a rocket and the dopamine hits are plenty.

But it’s also packed with the difficult, stressful decisions teens face every single day:

Should Kyle give in to peer pressure to drink the "green water"?

When things go wrong, should he trust what the government agents are telling them?

How far do you go to please the person you love?

Teachers who used Wild Child with 12–15-year-olds were amazed by how enthusiastic and energetic the students' responses were, even in a stifling classroom environment. If you want to spark a great, insightful summer conversation with a young person in your life, this is the book to do it.

Plus, remember the "good old days" when you didn’t carry around a device 24/7 that you had to worry about getting wet at the beach, running out of power, or dropping on the concrete? You can toss a paperback into your bag, get it covered in sand, and it still works perfectly. No chargers required.

If you want to give a young person in your life a break from the glare this summer, the paperback edition is officially available!

And it's only ten bucks!

When the temperature soars outside, the oceanfront is the ultimate destination. I drew inspiration from this notion in crafting this piece, and the result is truly captivating. This vintage piece has been skillfully transformed into an ideal addition to any beach house or a gift for an avid beachgoer or boating enthusiast.

Why I love painting furniture ? Because I can give an old forgotten piece a new glamorous look and a new life. This table transitioned from undesirable to a beach house worthy piece.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A Stellar Read!
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2026

“I just finished The Stars Between Us by Mike Wells, and I couldn't put it down.
This is a fantastic blend of sci-fi and romance that delivers the perfect mix of intrigue, heart, and wonder. It's a true page-turner—fast-paced, engaging, and surprisingly easy to read, making it ideal for both genre fans and anyone looking for an entertaining escape.
The story pulls you in right away with its clever premise and memorable characters. Wells weaves together big ideas about humanity's place in the universe with touching emotional moments that feel genuine and heartfelt. It's the kind of book that keeps you guessing while also warming your heart—smart without being pretentious, romantic without ever feeling forced.
One thing I particularly appreciated is the rebrand from its earlier title (Blob) to The Stars Between Us. The new title and cover perfectly capture the book's spirit and give it the fresh, inviting presentation it deserves.
If you're in the mood for something original, uplifting, and thoroughly enjoyable, I highly recommend this one.
Wells has crafted a standout standalone novel that left me smiling long after the final page. Highly entertaining and well worth your time-5/5 stars, no question!
(And yes, the ending delivers a fun, memorable surprise that ties everything together beautifully—without spoiling a thing, trust me, it's worth experiencing and fresh”
