We Are Mayhem

Filled with messy, complicated characters, this is a YA novel about finding your strength, embracing your weird, and being who you truly are - no matter what. When Birdie and her family moves to the Catskills, Birdie thinks life as she knows it is completely over. But then Birdie’s 'friends' ditch her during a dare gone wrong, and she finds herself staring down the barrel of a shotgun wielded by Mad Mabel the Mother of Mayhem, and everything changes. 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 indie wrestling promotion in a more feminist direction. With no way to return to 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.
