Midnight on Fireworks Island is a hilarious yet deep and compelling tale. It starts simple and funny but when you read the last word your life has changed. This book is about an unbreakable friendship that develops in Rockweiler Correctional Academy, a facility for boys under 18 and too young for the traditional prison system.
Rockweiler is notoriously evil, with punishments so outrageous kids beg to be paddled. For those who not only survive Rockweiler but rise to the top, there's Fireworks Island.
Professional REVIEWS
The book is written for kids who were born after the year 2000, kids who grew up with iPhones, iPads, electronic devices and social media. Social media took peer pressure, and image bullying to another level. This book presents situations familiar to all Junior High and High School students who struggle to Do The Right when it may not be the cool thing to do. This book is simple yet complex, shallow yet very deep, it is a book that will show the reader, if they Do The Right Thing, It’s a Wonderful Life.

ABOUT CHRISTOPHER
When I was 10 my father said, you're going to law school and you're going to be a lawyer, I told him, I'm not a lawyer, I'm creative, I'm a writer. I did go to NYU Law School; however, much to my father's dismay, I met someone from NYU film school. Although I graduated, passed the bar, and began practicing law, it only lasted 18 months. I wrote my first screenplay and signed with the William Morris Agency. I have lived the life of a Creator, Writer, Artist, and Teacher. I had an amazing education and wanted to share it, so I volunteered for 13 years teaching kids grades K-12. That's where I learned how to engage middle-grade students; I learned what makes them laugh and what opens them up to learn. I have poured all of that into my book. I live with my wife and five kids at the beach in California.
