When Birdie and her family moves to the Catskills, Birdie thinks life as she knows it is completely over. But then Birdie’s 'friends' ditch her during a dare gone wrong, and she finds herself staring down the barrel of a shotgun wielded by Mad Mabel the Mother of Mayhem, and everything changes.
Abigail Rose, Mabel’s granddaughter, is convinced that Birdie - whose big, strong arms have always felt like the bane of her existence - is destined to help pull her family’s indie wrestling promotion in a more feminist direction.
With no way to return to her past and no clear course into her future, Birdie has to find a way to somehow make her new town a home. But if Birdie is going to be the future of Mayhem, she first has to find a way to embrace who she is - no matter the cost.
Beck Rourke-Mooney grew up outside Providence and has worked as clambake staff, a donut finisher, a ballot counting machine tester, a telemarketer, and most importantly, a middle school English teacher. When not writing contemporary YA novels, they procrasti-bakes, writes songs, and watches (depending on who you ask) either way too much or just enough television, including, of course, wrestling. She lives in New York.
