Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Rugby School: Its History and Its Daily Life The following Papers have been written with the view of supplying a need, which various documents have met in part, but none entirely, - the need of a work embracing the entire History of Rugby School, in its Institution, Buildings, and Educational System. Some amount of definite and accessible information respecting every place of National Education is due to the Public. And for the sake of the School itself, it is surely desirable that its old memories and former associations should not be trusted to the precarious vehicle of tradition, but thrown into the more permanent shape of a written record. Rugby's connections with the past are now of nearly three hundred years' standing, and we feel that she has no reason to be ashamed of them.

Book excerpt: A teen at boarding school grapples with life, love, and rugby in this unforgettable novel that is “alternately hilarious and painful, awkward and enlightening” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Ryan Dean West is a fourteen-year-old junior at a boarding school for rich kids. He’s living in Opportunity Hall, the dorm for troublemakers, and rooming with the biggest bully on the rugby team. And he’s madly in love with his best friend Annie, who thinks of him as a little boy.

Filled with hand-drawn infographics and illustrations and told in a pitch-perfect voice, this realistic depiction of a teen’s experience strikes an exceptional balance of hilarious and heartbreaking.
