A review by williamsdebbied
Born to Rock, by Gordon Korman
5.0
Leo Caraway is poised for success--member of the Young Republicans and all set to attend Harvard on a full scholarship--when he is accused of cheating on a test. He loses his scholarship and finds out that his biological father is the infamous and angry lead singer of a punk rock band called Purge.
Leo spends a summer traveling with the band as he tries to work up the courage to ask his dad for the tuition money he needs.
Witty, dialogue and one of the best first lines I've seen in a long time make this one a keeper. It starts like this: "There are two kinds of people in this world--those who have had a cavity search, and those who haven't. This is the story of how I wound up in the wrong category."
