Publisher Description:
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 songwriting, and more

Contributor Bio(s): Raskin, Joyce: - Joyce Raskin started playing guitar and bass when she was a young teen. She continued playing and, after graduating from RISD, joined the rock band Scarce. Ten years later, Joyce self-published a book about her experiences in the band entitled Aching to Be. She has since gone on to become a designer of children's books. She lives in Braintree, MA, with her family.
Check out more about Joyce and Scarce on Facebook/teenrockstar.Chu, Carol: - Carol hails originally from Tennessee, and from a very young age, made "I'm moving to New York" her battle cry. She has a degree in journalism and a master's in design and has worked at TeenPeople, InStyle, Redbook, and Lucky. Currently, Carol is an art director and she designs books of all sorts.
