Tribute to Another Dead Rock Star by Randy Powell

readingjag's review

3.0

Tribute was a decent look at what it's like to have a famous parent, to feel out of place in a family, and about deciding which path to take in life. A coming of age story for boys. Also has a very sensitive and realistic portrayal of mental disability and deals with topics like religion and morals without being preachy.

Grady Grennan's mother was a famous rock star who died of a drug overdose. After being invited to speak at a tribute concert for his mother, Grady struggles to come to terms with his conflicted feelings about her.

Meanwhile, he skateboards, spends time with his mentally disabled brother and gets into constant arguments with his ultra-religious step-mother.
