SCAR GIRL
When The Scar Boys ended, the band has fallen apart. Harry and Johnny are barely speaking, and Cheyenne is feeling desperate about Johnny, who has retreated into silence. It’s only through their music that the group is able to rebuild their relationships, and they slowly begin to reach musical success and fame.
In Scar Girl, Cheyenne, Harry, and Richie tell their own stories as they discover the ups and downs of being rock musicians–including meltdowns on stage, too much drinking, keeping secrets that should be shared, and having fights that test the limits of their friendship. The band’s reputation grows and grows, but will the kids themselves survive?

Scar Girl Reviews
Like its predecessor, this novel will leave readers aching for an encore.
Kirkus, Starred Review
It’s dark, it’s raw. It will grab you and refuse to let you look away until the last line of the last page. Vlahos leaves us with hope, though, after the long, dark night. As much as I liked Scar Boys, I think I liked this book better.
The Story Sanctuary
Vlahos does another stellar job of crafting a band story that is so much more than that…
The Global Teacher Librarian Network
…fans of The Scar Boys will not be disappointed with this sequel.
