“I have McMurphy, the eight-hundred pound gorilla I carry in my DNA, a total loose cannon rolling around my personality.”- Born to Rock by Gordon Korman
Leo has a full scholarship to Harvard and is graduating soon. The scholarship is taken away when he doesn’t tell on a friend. He is also floored when he discovers his father is a rock star, which means his mom was a ‘groupie’ at one time. Leo decides to tour with King Maggot, who is his father and the lead singer of Purge. Can Leo handle being a ‘roadie’ and adjust to this new lifestyle? Will his father be convinced to give him money for Harvard?
This book interested me because I love rock music. This book did not disappoint me with its touch of ‘Almost Famous’ glamour. I found myself laughing out loud at random intervals and think that this is a light-hearted and comical book.
