Born to Rock (repackage)
Autor Gordon Kormanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 iun 2017 – vârsta de la 10 până la 14 ani
Leo
Caraway,
president
of
the
Young
Republicans
club,
future
Harvard
student,
has
his
life
all
mapped
out.
That
is,
until
he
discovers
his
biological
father
is
the
notorious
King
Maggot,
the
lead
singer
of
Purge,
the
most
popular
and
destructive
punk
rock
band
in
history.
Not only is Leo not a punk rock fan, but he believes the Maggot blood in his veins is a dangerous time bomb just waiting to explode. And sure enough it does-when Leo stubbornly defends the unlikeliest of people, thereby getting himself falsely accused of cheating on a test.
Because of the blemish on his record, the once-star pupil finds his scholarship to Harvard taken away. So he accepts a job as a roadie with Purge's summer revival tour, all the while secretly hoping to convince Maggot to pay for his tuition. But life on the road is even crazier than Leo bargained for, and before the summer is out, he will finally discover the surprising truth about his dad, his friends, and most important, himself.
* "This one . . . has the goods to go platinum."
-Publishers Weekly,starred review
"Laugh-out-loud funny, honest, hot and sweet."
-Kirkus Reviews
