Teen Review of the Week: Rock Star Superstar by Blake Nelson

Rock Star Superstar by Blake Nelson

Description:
Blake Nelson’s book, Rock Star Superstar, revolves around Pete McGrady’s vision of being successful. Pete’s journey begins as a sophomore bassist playing in the band Mad Skillz. But when they can’t get off the ground due to absence of enthusiasm, Pete’s friend Kevin employs him and a couple other friends to be in his alternate rock band. Showtime!

My Thoughts:
Kids who have an interest in bands and music will definitely adore this book. There are numerous parts that talk about the exhilarating experience known as playing live and just being in a band. I really enjoyed Blake Nelson’s unique writing style. Mind-numbing authors state the obvious, but noble authors like Blake Nelson subtly imply it.

Recommendation:
Musicians, Teens, Awesome People.
