WHAT A GUY
Sixteen-year-old Robert “Wolf” Ryder never asked for responsibility, yet life drops it on his doorstep all at once. His parents are suddenly pulled away by his mother transferred across the country, his father deployed overseas. And in their absence, Wolf is left with a full-time job, a watchful social worker, and the unexpected burden of caring for Rebel, a half-wolf, half–German Shepherd scarred by years of abuse.
Fear is the one thing Wolf knows too well, fear of dogs, fear of failure, fear of the brother who abandoned the family. But when Rebel returns home broken and unpredictable, Wolf is forced to confront the shadows of his past and the grit inside himself he never knew he had.
What begins as a tense standoff between boy and dog transforms into a powerful journey of trust, healing, and courage. Along the way, Wolf finds unexpected connection with Tiger, a fierce and resilient girl fighting her own battles and shaping her own comeback story.
Together, Wolf, Tiger, and Rebel navigate a world of secrets, second chances, and the painful echoes of betrayal. When a mysterious figure from Rebel’s past resurfaces, Wolf must decide, does he run from danger like he always has, or finally stand his ground?
What a Guy is a heartfelt coming-of-age novel about resilience, loyalty, and the unshakeable bonds that can grow between the wounded. Packed with emotion and grounded in truth, it reminds us that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is show up, especially when the odds say you shouldn’t.
