About this listen
Punk rock meets Orwell's 1984 in this story of a group of theater kids who take on a political regime, perfect for listeners who love books by A.S. King and Marie Lu.
In an alternate 1991, the authoritarian US government keeps tabs on everybody and everything. It censors which books can be read, what music can be listened to, and which plays can be performed.
When her best friend is killed by the authorities and her theater teacher disappears without a trace, Gigi decides to organize her fellow Champaign High School thespians to put on a production of Henry VI. But at what cost?

"This fast-paced dystopian thriller will get a standing ovation from theater kids and punk rockers alike." —Kirkus Reviews
"This punk rock dystopian thriller is a must-read about freedom of expression and the power of art in the fight against tyranny." —Booklist
