WHAT THE REVIEWERS ARE SAYING

"This first novel is delightfully tongue–in–cheek, with more plot twists than one can shake a plunger at. Teen readers should love this odd mixture of mystery and potty humor."
–Kevin Beach, VOYA (Voice of Youth Advocates)



"Featuring likeably human main characters, a colorful supporting cast, memorably offbeat set pieces and a credible small–town atmosphere, this debut should leave plenty of readers flushed with laughter."
– Kirkus Reviews



–Meehl has a talent and a sense of humor that hoists him heads and tails above the competition. ... Reading "Out of Patience" is a joy. I don’t think I’ve enjoyed reading a book as much as I enjoyed this one in a long long time. ... It’s hee–larious. Kids will adore it and adults will turn up their noses at the bathroom jokes while secretly succumbing to its charms."
– E. R. Bird "Ramseelbird," Amazon, Top 100 Reviewer



Out of Patience is one of the funniest, most enjoyable and amusing young adult books that I have read in some time. The author plays on male humor and spices the tale with baseball, buried treasure, historical robbery and ancestral mystery. Meehl leaves bits of humor on every page and reveals beauty even in a storm – a talent sometimes difficult to find among the young adult genre. I recommend this book to any family with children between the ages of nine and thirteen
