About this ebook
Poets. Geniuses. Revolutionaries.
The members of the legendary band Lemonade Mouth have been called all of these things. But until now, nobody's known the inside story of how this powerhouse band came to be. How five outcasts in Opoquonsett High School's freshman class found each other, found the music, and went on to change both rock and roll and high school as we know it. Wen, Stella, Charlie, Olivia, and Mo take us back to that fateful detention where a dentist's jingle, a teacher's coughing fit, and a beat-up ukelele gave birth to Rhode Island's most influential band. Told in each of their five voices and compiled by Opoquonsett's "scene queen," freshman Naomi Fishmeier, this anthology is their definitive history.

I have to say, that when I read the book, I LOVED it. I was very pleased because I finally found characters that I can relate to. And I can say, I am like these characters in numerous ways: Like for example, like Charlie I've always been misunderstood by my peers, like Wen and Mo I've been recognized as a geek, like Stella I try my best to stand up for what I believe in, and much like Olivia, I've been harassed, put down and bullied till I went to tears. It's quite similar to when I was in the sixth grade. I wound up getting eczema and pimples all over my face. When I heard all those insults getting pushed down on me, topping it all of when a kid called me "pimple face," I couldn't help but break down and cry; I felt like such a freak. When you read pages, especially ones with Ray Beech and the Patties in there, you start thinking, okay this is unnatural, nobody's really this mean. But that's untrue. People really ARE this mean. And Mark Peter Hughes just has it down. All the languege they use, the way how these atagonists act. It's just SO perfect to a fourteen-year-old girl or boy that puts people down. It's with the help of reading this book that I start finding myself and being myself.

About the author
Mark Peter Hughes was born in Liverpool, England, and grew up in Barrington, Rhode Island. Mark’s obsession with music has led to many ups and downs. Setbacks include getting ejected from eighth-grade music class for throwing a spitball and the heartbreak of learning that the accordion has no place on a thrash-metal stage. Success came later when Mark fronted an alternative-rock band. He owns a pennywhistle, a broken violin, and a boxful of other musical instruments of mass destruction. Mark now lives and often hums quietly in Massachusetts.
Lemonade Mouth is Mark Peter Hughes’s second novel. His first, I am the Wallpaper, was a Children’s Book Sense 76 Summer Pick and a New York Public Library Book for the Teen Age.
