"Simons excels at amusingly juxtaposing his protagonists' shenanigans against the alleged decorum and religiosity of the school... fans of boys-will-be-boys hijinks will surely enjoy these yarns. An entertaining bildungsroman filled with truancy, toxicity, and bravado." -- Kirkus Reviews
Savannah Blue is a darkly funny, sharply observed Southern novel about loyalty, tradition, and the brutal rites of passage that shape young men long before they understand what they've inherited.

At a 120-year-old all-boys Catholic military academy in the South, Harrison and Delli enter their final year caught between fading old-guard traditions and a new culture determined to erase them. What begins as rebellion against shifting rules becomes a deeper struggle with identity, masculinity, and the unspoken brotherhoods that bind and scar them.

As they push back against authority, challenge each other, and cling to the rituals that once defined their school, the boys confront uncomfortable truths about themselves, their upbringing, and the cost of becoming the men the world demands.

A raw, wry, and emotionally resonant coming-of-age novel for fans of Pat Conroy -- equal parts humor, heart, and Southern grit.
