Roomed A Prep School Consequence

Book 1 in the Max Rocks the '80s Series

Max never planned on failing freshman year.

But in the fall of 1985, one academic collapse sends him to Hillside Moore Academy-an elite New England boarding school where expectations are high and anonymity is impossible.

New roommate.

New rules.

No safety net.

Meet Max.

He's energetic, sharp-witted, and used to skating by on personality.

"I'm not a one-size-fits-all kinda kid."

School, however, has never come easily.

As a sophomore transfer student, Max discovers that prep school demands more than charm-competitive academics, social hierarchies, and a family legacy that quietly raises the bar.

When his learning differences begin surfacing in ways he can't ignore, he must confront more than homework. He must confront who he is without the armor of humor.

Privilege doesn't eliminate pressure.

Charm doesn't replace discipline.

Growing up doesn't wait.

Set against the cultural pulse of the 1980s, Roomed is a coming-of-age novel about identity, expectations, vulnerability, and the fragile confidence of a teenage boy learning who he is when everything shifts.
