Summary

In "Boys of Oakdale Academy," Morgan Scott weaves a compelling narrative that delves into the lives of teenagers navigating the complex social hierarchies of a prestigious boarding school. The novel is marked by its rich prose and keen psychological insights, exploring themes of friendship, rivalry, and self-discovery against the backdrop of an elite educational environment. Scott adeptly intertwines moments of humor and drama, presenting characters who are vividly rendered and relatable, thereby inviting readers into a world that feels both exclusive and accessible. Morgan Scott, known for his insightful explorations of youth and identity, draws upon his own formative experiences in a similar academic setting. This background informs the authenticity of the relationships depicted in the novel, as Scott examines the pressures faced by young men striving for excellence amid the expectations of family and society. His nuanced understanding of adolescent life and its challenges is evident throughout the narrative, making the readers resonate deeply with the protagonist's journey. I highly recommend "Boys of Oakdale Academy" to anyone interested in a thought-provoking exploration of adolescence. This novel not only entertains but also provokes reflection on the formative years that shape identity, making it an essential read for both young adults and those who enjoy literary coming-of-age stories.

    Referent by Ray Bradbury - The Life of a child genius was no fun, but Roby couldn’t escape it–until a falling star taught him how to rebel!  
Roby Morrison fidgeted. Walking in the tropical heat he heard the wet thunder of waves on the shore. There was a green silence on Orthopedic Island. 
It was the year 1997, but Roby did not care. 
All around him was the garden where he prowled, all ten years of him. This was Meditation Hour. Beyond the garden wall, to the north, were the High I.Q. Cubicles where he and the other boys slept in special beds. With morning they popped up like bottle-corks, dashed into showers, gulped food, and were sucked down vacuum-tubes half across the island to Semantics School. Then to Physiology. After Physiology he was blown back underground and released through a seal in the great garden wall to spend this silly hour of meditative frustration, as prescribed by the island Psychologists. 
Roby had his opinion of it. "Damned silly." 
Today, he was in furious rebellion. He glared at the sea, wishing he had the sea's freedom to come and go. His eyes were dark, his cheeks flushed, his small hands twitched nervously. 
Somewhere in the garden a chime vibrated softly. Fifteen more minutes of meditation. Huh! And then to the Robot Commissary to stuff his dead hunger as taxidermists stuff birds.
