Battle of the Bands

Anthologists Lauren Gibaldi and Eric Smith bring together fifteen well-known YA authors and a beloved rock star to tell one epic-and interconnected-story about a high school's Battle of the Bands. There is the former almost-famous teen musician, the lonely ticket-taker manning the front door, the fangirl, the merch kid, the frustrated stage manager, the jilted ex, and more. YA authors Brittany Cavallaro, Preeti Chhibber, Jay Coles, Katie Cotugno, Lauren Gibaldi, Shaun David Hutchinson, Ashley Poston, Jenny Torres Sanchez, Sarah Nicole Smetana, Eric Smith, Jenn Marie Thorne, Sarvenaz Tash, Jasmine Warga, Ashley Woodfolk, and Jeff Zentner, and Motion City Soundtrack's Justin Courtney Pierre weave together an unforgettable story.
