W.A. Brown

Some blooms just need room to grow. Milo doesn't fit in-not with the athletes, the honor students, or even the Garden Club kids who plant perfect rows of roses at his school. But when he discovers a scrappy, unknown plant growing in the forgotten corner of the garden, everything changes. As Milo secretly cares for the "weed, " he begins to see his own struggles reflected in its wild, stubborn roots.
But when the school plans to tear the patch out, Milo must choose: stay silent, or stand up for something the world doesn't understand. Poignant, poetic, and full of heart, The Wild Patch is a story about unseen beauty, quiet courage, and the power of growing on your own terms."Sometimes what the world calls a weed. is just a flower waiting to be seen."
