Young Adult Contemporary
Teen rocker Ritchie Sudden is pretty sure his life has just
jumped the shark. Except he hates being called a teen, his
band doesn't play rock, and "jumping the shark" is yet
another dumb cliché. Part of Ritchie wants to drop
everything and walk away. Especially the part that's serving
ninety days in a juvenile detention center. Telling the story of the year leading up to his arrest,
Ritchie grabs readers by the throat before (politely)
inviting them along for the (max-speed) ride. A battle of
the bands looms. Dad split about five minutes before Mom's
girlfriend moved in. There's the matter of trying to score
with the dangerously hot Ravenna Woods while avoiding the
dangerously huge Spence Proffer--not to mention just trying
to forget what his sister, Beth, said the week before she died. This latest offering from acclaimed author Sean Beaudoin is
alternately raw, razor-sharp, and genuinely hilarious.
