Acclaimed author Ibi Kaslik takes readers backstage

with up-and-coming Montreal band The Angel Riots

on their American tour. The band's story unfolds

through the eyes of Jim, a small-town violin prodigy

who struggles with her past as well as her present;

and Rize, an emotionally charged trombone player

who is stuck playing sidekick to his best friend,

charismatic lead singer Jules. As the band's

popularity mounts, the pressures of road-life and

success begin to complicate relationships and The

Angel Riots' chaotic world threatens to implode.

Dark and dazzling, this novel will firmly establish

Kaslik's reputation as a young literary talent.
