Grrrls on the Side

Grrrls on the Side by Carrie Pack is a young adult punk rock tales set in 1994.

Tabitha Denton is sixteen years old. She does not fit in at her school. She needs to find new friends. 

At a punk concert she is handed a zine and invited to a Riot Grrrl meeting. 

At the meeting she finds her people. They are all different but accepting of those differences. It is also the first time meeting other queer women - including the out and proud Jackie.

Pack has captured both the Riot Grrrl scene and the feelings of being a new queer woman in our society.
