Blurb: Punk was created for the malcontents, something that loner and aspiring drummer Hallie understands all too well. Trapped in a boring suburban life – dysfunctional parents included! – Hallie drowns her angst in the angry songs of Haze, a masked musician who has not been heard from in five years. So naturally she’s surprised – and more than a little skeptical – when someone who seems to be Haze starts flirting with her via her favorite photo-sharing app. Is he who he says he is? What does he want from her? The questions only multiply when Hallie — along with bandmate Sarah and aspiring music journalist Steve — roadtrip to Haze's comeback gig to unmask the reclusive musician once and for all.
Genre: YA
My rating: 4 stars
My thoughts: I liked this book a lot, mainly because the meaning behind it is real. You can not trust people are who they say they are on the Internet. So many kids get suckered in by weirdos and quite frankly dangerous people out in the real world that it is good that there is fiction that can show the dangers without being condescending or outright didactic.
In addition to this the story was well written, protagonists likeable and language both accessible and fun.
I would definatley recommend this book to my nieces and friends kids of the relevant age.
