Despite his dreams of hipster rock glory, Ari Abramson's band, the Tribe, is more white bread than indie-cred. Made up of four suburban teens from a wealthy Jewish school, their Motley Crue is about as hardcore as SAT prep and scripture studies. But after a one-song gig at a friend's Bar Mitzvah--a ska cover of "Hava Nagilah"--the Tribe's popularity erupts overnight. Now, Ari is forced to navigate a minefield of inflated egos, misplaced romance, and the shallowness of indie-rock elitism. It's a hard lesson in the complex art of playing it cool. So Punk Rock is... a 2010 Sydney Taylor Notable Book for Teen Readers "Awesome. Brilliant. Hilarious. So Punk Rock is so good!"--Blake Nelson, author of Girl "A downright hilarious read."--Elizabeth Bird, author of School Library Journal's A Fuse #8 Production "[A] cutting-edge prose-graphic hybrid. . .smart, laugh-out-loud witty."--Cynthia Leitich Smith, author of Tantalize and Eternal A Booklist Top 10 Arts Books for Youth (2009) and Top 10 Religious Books for Youth (2009).
