Fahrenheit-182
by Mark Hoppus
Mark Hoppus's Fahrenheit-182 invites you into the mind of a kid trying to figure things out, long before he became a pop-punk icon.

You'll experience the humor and the heart of his early life, the deep friendships that shaped him, and the resilience he's needed to navigate everything from anxiety to a public cancer battle. This isn't just a book for blink-182 fans; it's for anyone who appreciates a story about growing up, finding your people, and learning to keep going even when life throws its toughest challenges.
