Amy Of Suburbia - Physical Novella

As one of the highest-selling rock records of the new millennium, Green Day’s comeback album American Idiot was the cornerstone of an unprecedented wave of commercial pop punk in the early 2000s. Its biggest fans? Pre-teens. Alanna Why hears the album through the ears of Amy, a 12-year-old girl living in the suburbs of Ottawa in 2007. In this coming-of-age story of identity formation and friendship, Amy describes not only what Green Day’s music means to her, but how Green Day’s music is her.
