Born to Rock by Gordon Korman

4.0

I listened to this while driving, and I found that it was difficult for me to get out of the car, at times, as I wanted to find out what happened next. Leo is a member of the Young Republicans Club and is on his way to Harvard. He makes an error that may cost him his scholarship. His world gets even more confusing when he learns that his biological father may be the angry, lead singer of a famous punk band, Purge. When Purge, conveniently, opts for a reunion tour, Leo sets out to meet his bio dad. I liked the book on tape a lot because there was background music between chapters and the reader spoke quickly. I started listening to this immediately after another book on tape with a much slower reader, so this was a nice change of pace. It kept me interested through all six CDs, and the story had a great message to young people.
