We launched The Boxkart Rebel, the new novel by TheNeverPress founder Graham Thomas.
Before we get into all it, let’s get the bits out of the way – The Boxkart Rebel is a YA drama about a working class family who own a small DIY SuperKart racing team. They have one driver, the eldest son, one kart and one spare set of tyres. Totally outmatched by the competition, financially, they still outgun everyone on race-days. The youngest son, Chris, dreams of one day taking on his brother’s mantle and becoming even greater. But between that fantasy and reality, another life exists – one of fear, anger and courage. The life of The Boxkart Rebel.
The novel is about family and going your own way – and what better way to celebrate this launch than by living its ethos? And that’s exactly what we did. By partnering up with some great friends at Rebel Stationery, Cities in Dust and 19 Something, TheNeverPress put on a unique punk-rock DIY launch event at The Slaughtered Lamb in Clerkenwell. It was a helluva night.
