The revolution gets complicated.
Picking up right where Lemonade Mouth left off, Lemonade Mouth Puckers Up continues the history of Olivia, Wen, Stella, Charlie, and Mo—and their rule-breaking band’s improbable rise from misunderstood high school outcasts to household names.
Once again telling the story in their own voices, the band members set the record straight about what really happened next. It was a summer that changed everything: the sudden reappearance of Olivia’s estranged mother; Mo’s growing fear that her parents may be arranging a future she doesn’t want; upheaval in Wen’s family when his father abandons stability for a risky new path; Charlie’s struggle to imagine a life beyond the drums; and Stella’s escalating battles with corporate exploitation and the dullest summer job imaginable.
A stand-alone sequel, Lemonade Mouth Puckers Up captures the moment when momentum turns complicated—and when the history of Lemonade Mouth begins to belong to more than just the people who lived it.
