American expat teen Chris Valentine discovers Anarchy in the UK when he attends a British boy’s school. A brilliant classical musician, he discovers punk is the remedy for his hidden pain, a music that’s being “dragged from inside me. A place way deeper than Brahms and Beethoven. A place that scares me.” Getting up close and personal with the Pistols, Clash and Siouxsie gives him a new way to create and revolt against an abusive orchestra teacher, the consequences of which threaten to fly out of anyone’s control.

YOU CAN'T KEEP THIS BOOK QUIET!
Now you can read the book and annoy the neighbors at the same time! Twenty eight voice actors from ten different countries combined their talents to epic results.
This immersive production includes cinematic sound design and original incidental music to enhance your quality listening experience.(and to drop your right into the loud, dirty, smelly London of 1976).
Scoping out the new school(aged 15). Was oblivious to offensive proto-punk graffitti sprayed on wall next to me.
Full circle. Still can't shake that tie. The revolutionary slips into comfortable middle age.
