THE PLAN:

1. Do the best you can at school.

2. Work at Dollars City to save money.

3. Edit school magazine.

4. Go to University of Kentucky with Maddie.

Mal Flowers lives by The Plan. It's the only thing that keeps their ADHD brain from spiralling. But when the school magazine gets cancelled, The Plan starts falling apart.

Enter Emerson Pike: radiant, carefree and the total opposite of Mal's carefully controlled world. Her idea? Go rogue and launch an underground zine - unofficial, unapproved, and utterly terrifying.

With no other option, Mal agrees. But as MixxedMedia is born and parks begin to fly both on and off the page, can Mal learn that not everything in life has to go according to plan?
