Children's Book Based on East Hanover Resident

Wiley’s Next Adventure: Angel’s Wings by Dr. Cristina Guarneri of Verona, New Jersey.

Adamsville Middle School had two great things - Friday’s lunch special pizza and baseball players who dress in red and gold. With a rich history, Adamsville Middle School was special to its townspeople and even more special since it was also home to the math teacher Wiley Perkins. Wiley’s success as a baseball coach to the Sandsburg Sputniks became legendary in Adamsville. Even though he enjoyed coaching, it was no longer a part of his life, until Adamsville Principal Marty Snyder tries to bring Wiley back into baseball. Will Wiley coach the Adamsville Angels?  

Dr. Guarneri’s the author of numerous children’s books, including Purple Ribbons, The Magic Tree, and Just Being Me. Her book Wiley’s Adventure was inspired by the true story of a talented East Hanover teacher and coach.
