We Are Mayhem

By Beck Rourke-Mooney

Book Overview

Filled with messy, complicated characters, We Are Mayhem is a debut YA novel about finding your strength, embracing your weird, and being who you truly are - no matter what.

When Birdie's parents move the family from their gated New Jersey community to the Catskills, Birdie thinks life as she knows it is once again--just like it was when she quit gymnastics--completely over. But when Birdie's friends ditch her during a dare gone wrong, she finds herself staring down the barrel of a shotgun wielded by Mad Mabel the Mother of Mayhem, and Birdie strikes a deal with Mabel to work off her crime.

Abigail Rose, Mabel's granddaughter, is convinced that Birdie--whose big, strong arms have always felt like the bane of her existence -- is destined to help pull her family's male-dominated indie wrestling promotion in a more feminist direction.

With no way to return to or escape her past and no clear course into her future, Birdie has to find a way to somehow make her new town a home. But if Birdie is going to be the future of Mayhem, she first has to find a way to embrace who she is - no matter the cost.
