This book has been a long time coming, and many of you have contributed to its creation. I can’t wait to celebrate it with you.

***

In book 1 of the Do the Wrong Thing serial, Ava Mueller begins with a confession: her suicide attempt felt “mundane, like brushing my teeth.” From there, she unspools her story—battles with her mother, a desperate search for friendship, and the terrifying discovery that she might be a writer.

In Trouble Girl, fourteen year old Ava works furiously toward independence while sabotaging herself at every turn. Raw, funny, and heartbreaking, Trouble Girl is a chronicle of what it means to come of age when you don’t fit anywhere.

Additional readings by Josh Hines, Citizens of Ragnarock, and Jim Ewens, Resilience, and an open mic! Many of you have contributed to Josh's and Jim's works, too.

***

Expect a bar and snacks. As before, I invite you to come dressed as a character—from something you’ve written, or from a favourite story, poem, book, song or movie. (Only one person joined in last time, but I’ll still be in the gorgeous Do the Wrong Thing dress my sister made for me!)
