Private School Punk Kindle Edition

London in the year 1976, a place and a time desperate for change. Chris, a 17 year old expat American Air Force brat is shoved into the alien world of a British private (public) school. A gifted classical cellist, Chris struggles to reconcile the focus on form, control and technique with being increasingly drawn into the vortex of raw, rebellious energy that is the punk movement. It allows him to let out pain that has been held in too long. He meets Johnny Rotten and is inspired to start his own band. When Chris is drawn into a deadly conflict with an abusive teacher, his only weapon is his music. He used to think music changed nothing, but now he discovers that music changes everything.The book explores themes of individuality, rebellion, self-discovery and the sheer joy of making a noise, that are deeply rooted in the ethos of the 1970s punk scene. Punk-style illustrations accompany the text, making it inviting and accessible for the reader. The original soundtrack is available on Bandcamp and at privateschoolpunk.comThe Audiobook is now a 2026 SOVAS (Society of Voice Arts and Sciences) Award Nominee for Outstanding Narration - Teen!
