Above the Noise

Friends, School, and One Terrible Teacher… Welcome to Ben’s life! Ben dreams of becoming a pilot, but his daily reality is anything but soaring. Between his chemistry teacher’s relentless cruelty, the pressure of school exams, and his family’s expectations, he’s struggling to find his own path. Luckily, he’s got friends to help him through the rough days. But in the middle of all this chaos, how is he supposed to figure out who he really wants to be? A story about dreams, friendship, and the courage to stand up for yourself—because sometimes, you have to land before you can truly take off!



Someone said I had to include a little bio in the book. Nobody reads these anyway. Sigh. Groan. Well, here goes… Hi, I’m Mac Conin, and I live in Cologne, Germany. I’m not into Carnival, but I do love stories that could really happen. After many years in advertising, I now write books—not because it’s my “passion,” but because I get a kick out of sharing the nonsense swirling in my head, bringing characters to life, and so on. A quick review really helps me out!
