Born to Rock

By Gordon Korman

Leo Caraway had a 4.0 GPA, was a member of the Young Republicans and won a scholarship to Harvard. But Leo soon finds out that the Marion X. McMurphy who's named on his birth certificate as his biological father is none other than King Maggot, lead singer of Purge a popular hard core punk band. Leo's unruly DNA kicks in and he ends up losing his scholarship to Harvard for refusing to give up the name of a cheating student. He decides it's time to meet his dear old dad and ask for the tuition money but can't bring himself to do it. Leo ends up becoming a roadie for Purge's reunion summer tour and that's when the real fun begins. Life on the road with punk rock band is not exactly Leo's idea of fun but he learns a lot about himself, his family (new and old) and his friends. Read and enjoy the fun characters and crazy antics of these aging punk rockers and how Leo handles it all.
