Leech Mob Novel Appeals to Teens and to Reluctant Readers


Even though the school system tried to kill me, I survived because our gang was a cool bunch of friends who always had each other’s back in an otherwise unfriendly world. Leech Mob: A Novel about a Connecticut Gang is the wisdom about growing up that I was able to get across enemy lines.  I leave it in the hands of you kids now, so start reading!
         What? You don’t like reading books?  Well, neither do I if you’re talking about most of the boring novels we were assigned to read in high school. But Leech Mob is altogether different.  It’s about high school kids who are experimenting with being adults.  We make lots of mistakes, but our lives go on.  Yep, there is some violence in the book, but the fights are real rather than glorified.  No one walks away a hero, and not everyone walks away. 
I was having problems with Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble so please order the Leech Mob Novel through the products page at www.leechmobnovel.com so I can continue to support myself and you will definitely get a copy of the book without problems or delay. Order a copy of Leech Mob through our website: www.leechmobnovel.com

Leech Mob: A Novel about a Connecticut Gang explores dating in high school




Hey Girls,
Have you ever felt dissed by a guy?  If so, then there are several chapters in Leech Mob: A Novel about a Connecticut Gang that might interest you about high school dating. But Chapter 7 is the real clincher that will shock you ladies with "the players" approach.  Now I don’t mean to sound one-sided against the guys here... because I explain just how ruthless the girls can act in Chapter 10.  So you’ve got to read the book and look from both perspectives.

Being the new kid in high school, Kelly Hayes fights the bullies in Leech Mob Novel


It’s not easy being the new kid – especially when you’re new to high school and everyone has known each other - like - since the first grade. I know - cause I was in that predicament myself.   I had barely stepped off the school bus when I was in a fight on the first day of school. But the teachers didn’t want to spend any time investigating the incident.  They just assumed that I caused it rather than the school’s elite - a bunch of preps, jocks, and honor roll kids.  It’s weird how a thing like that can seem to go on for rest of your life! So read the book and decide if you agree or not.

Leech Mob: A Novel about a Connecticut Gang author biography of John Harwood


      I was born in New York and moved to Connecticut at the start of high school, graduating after a series of stints at various schools. I then attended a semester here or a year there at several New England universities, struggling with the normalcy of traditional conventions. But it’s high school that left lasting impressions. As with all of us, these were growing years, learning about myself and others, exploring what life is about, pushing the boundaries society puts on us, and learning where I fit––and often DIDN’T FIT––in the grand scheme of American society. 
Taking artistic license to the limit with the wild parties, the high school pranks, the underground music scene, brushes with the law and, of course, the brawls! I wanted to write a book that young people would have fun reading. As a kid, I loved books, but was turned off to reading during high school because the novels were totally irrelevant to my life. So I decided to start with the important social issues of growing up––with a bunch of crazy and often painful stories about teenage kids. The end result was  Leech Mob: A Novel about a Connecticut Gang.

I want the youth to know that I love them and I wrote this book for them. Hopefully, they will benefit from the experiences of Kelly Hayes.
