A Really Awesome Mess

(3) YA Illustrated by Brendan Halpin. Having found themselves at Heartland Academy, a reform school for troubled youth, Justin, Emmy, and a band of misfit teens attempt to sneak out for one really awesome night of fun and adventure. With Eleanor & Park–esque protagonists and a cast reminiscent of Girl, Interrupted, this is a satisfying story about trauma and laughter, and the power of friendship.
