The challenging times that Jeffrey Ross Hyman endured before becoming Joey Ramone speak to young folks navigating the complexities of growing up, via teachable punk stuff: being your own person with your own compass, embracing uniqueness, etc.

“Jay Ruttenberg & Lucinda Schreiber light the tale righteously with plain-spoken language, lyrical graphic design and colourful illustrations, finding unexpected depths on every page.”
