Rock 'n' roll isn't just about sex and drugs. It's about self-expression, lasting friendships, and self-empowerment. That's what Alex learns after she starts playing bass for a rock band in this almost true story. Joyce Raskin, author and musician, culls from her memories to create this funny, touching, and honest look at what it's like to be a teenager, a girl, and a rock star all at the same time. Also included are a note from the author, instructions on how to play basic guitar chords, advice on song writing, and more!. AUTHOR: Joyce Raskin played in the band Scarce, which was named ?one of the top fifty bands you should know but probably don't? by Spin magazine. She lives in Braintree, Massachusetts. You can find Joyce on Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace Ages 12 and up Grades 7 and up
