Dunn’s debut novel for young adults is “an accessible yet fierce paean to punk rock and the way that seemingly small actions can resonate far beyond intention” (Michael T. Fournier, author of Swing State) and “a must-read for anyone who has ever felt like a misfit and found solace in books and music” (Jennifer Whiteford, author of Grrrl).
