The cult Swedish graphic novel that inspired the critically acclaimed Lukas Moodysson film We Are the Best!

Coco, Klara and Mathilda have known each other since primary school, where they met in folk dancing class. Now they’re almost teenagers, and their anarchist ideals and dreams of forming a world-beating punk band set them apart from the other girls at school. They can’t play any instruments, practice with pillows and pans, and keep getting told that punk is dead. But they’re not going to let any of those things get in their way…

Published in English for the first time, Never Goodnight is a hilarious and life-affirming memoir which will remind you that all you need in life is your best friends, a can of hairspray and three guitar chords.

• Gold title

• This is the first English translation of Never Goodnight to be published

• Never Goodnight was made into the film ‘We Are The Best!’ (Box office $1.4 million) by Lukas Moodysson, Coco’s husband

‘I adored it. The translation is excellent, and is helped along by footnotes that help give context to the local bands and trends that non-Swedes won't be familiar with. Coco and her pals are a screaming, thrashing reminder that punk is never dead’ Cory Doctorow
