We Are The Chaos Gremlins

We Are the Chaos Gremlins is a contemporary YA novel about music, mischief, and the messy, exhilarating chaos of adolescence. Told through the wry, self-deprecating voice of Alex, a teen guitarist still reeling from a humiliating onstage collapse, the novel follows him and his ragtag band of friends as they chase their musical ambitions while navigating family fractures, first love, and the volatile bonds that hold them together. At the heart of the story is Alex's twin brother Michael, his sharpest rival and closest ally, whose presence constantly pushes Alex to confront who he is and who he wants to be. As the band stumbles from cafeteria food fights to high-stakes school performances, Alex wrestles with anxiety, secrets, and the temptation to run before anyone can see him fall apart again. Equal parts funny and heartfelt, the novel explores friendship, vulnerability, and what it means to find your voice.
