MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Len Vlahos follows up his Morris Award Finalist The Scar Boys with Scar Girl, published by Carolrhoda Lab™, an imprint of Carolrhoda Books, a division of Lerner Publishing Group. In this gripping sequel, the members of the Scar Boys band take a bumpy, unforgettable ride to fame.
Cheyenne, Harry, and Richie tell their own stories as they discover the ups and downs of being rock musicians—including meltdowns on stage, too much drinking, keeping secrets that should be shared, and fighting that test the limits of their friendship. The band’s reputation grows and grows, but will the kids themselves survive?
With the same wry and compelling picture of relationships and growth as The Scar Boys, Scar Girl will hook readers from start to finish.
