A disparate group of high school students thrown together in detention form a band to play at a school talent show and end up competing with a wildly popular local rock band.

Lemonade Mouth

Poets. Geniuses. Revolutionaries. The members of the legendary band Lemonade Mouth have been called all these things. But until now, nobody's known the inside story of how this powerhouse band came to be - how five high-school outcasts found each other, found the music, and went on to change both rock and roll and high school as we know them. It all started at that fateful detention where they found inspiration from a dentist's jingle, a teacher's coughing fit, and a beat-up ukulele. Of course no one knew back then, that this was the start of the Lemonade Mouth revolution. Inspiration for the Disney Channel Original Movie.

this is an instant where i liked the movie more than the book, but i imagine that’s largely because i’m comfortable with the movie and know it quite intimately!

i know that if i’d read this book in middle school i would’ve loved it, and for me that’s enough for me to at least like it now.

the book fleshes out the characters more, developing them fully (compared to the movie) and i really loved the emphasis on friendship as i was reading! 

in sum: everyone should read the books of movies they loved in middle school slash high school!! let nostalgia sweep you in!!!
