MIND RIOT
Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe. it's not too late
To learn how to love, and forget how to hate
17-year-old SALEM SCOTT is about to have the craziest summer of his life--literally.
After a harmless prank goes awry, shy Salem and his flamboyant best friend Jace must surrender their freedom and spend the summer volunteering in a private mental institution. When their up-and-coming garage band kicks them to the curb just weeks before their first paying gig, Salem and Jace are left with only one option: to form their own band, with whoever is willing--including Flash-Happy Tammy, Jesus Christ, and the Emperor of Mars.
This contemporary coming-of-age tale explores the angst of being painfully hipster in small town America, the connective power of music, and what happens when kids who are “too cool for feels” are dropped into a reality where emotions are too loud to ignore.
