Total Bullfrog: Book 1
Escape From High School
Every kid needs to escape from high school at some point. Joe needs it bad: his dad died and his mom is kind of a mess. So, he forges a field trip form to get away for the day. But where he ends up, he never would have expected. He’s not the only one. There’s Tiff, a girl who reads a lot, and Louis, a kid that thinks he’s from the ‘hood, but he’s just a mama’s boy who enjoys his stupid snack food. These three end up in deep space trying to save an alien species, rescue their teacher from execution and get back home.

When Tiff and Louis realize Joe is missing they’re soon on their way back out of our universe and into another to find Joe.

About Me
E.A. Monty (b. in the early ‘70s when everything was orange and brown) is an aspiring acclaimed and bestselling author. In an effort to alleviate the incessant reality of a capitalistic society littered with landlords and cashiers, Monty is also a high school English teacher who aims to impress upon his students the value of communication. He encourages young people to read and build their vocabulary so that they can effectively express themselves in conversation or with the written word. His novel Total Bullfrog: Book 1: Escape from High School is for teens and those of us who haven’t truly abandoned adolescence—a word that still gives him the creeps. He is currently at work on the sequels.
About The Books
These books are written for the teens who can't get into reading (and the ones who can't get out of it).
These books have characters in them that want to have nothing to do with me, the author. When I'm not writing, due to my having to focus on teaching high school, I hear them in my dreams. Like any teenager, they just want to be heard. These are their stories, not mine. They are here for you. Tiff, in particular, made it clear that as much as she likes The King of Horror, "should he really get all of the attention? Seriously, there's gotta be room for some Bullfrog books on some shelves; i mean c'mon."
For those of you who don't dig on reading, noodle on this for a sec:
The more you read the more you’ll like reading. Reading is like running. If you don’t do it, you dread it. but if you’re the type that runs, it isn’t that big of a deal. In fact, I’ll say this, reading is like getting on the dreadmill, it’s harder to get on than to stay on. In other words, getting started is harder than actually doing it.
So
Maybe put some headphones on or some earbuds in and listen to some cool ambient spacey static and bliss out to something that might take you somewhere else and give you a few chuckles along the way.
