present this original, funny and cutting edge prose-graphic hybrid novel. In
an effort to become cool, Ari Abramson starts a band with three other teens
from his suburban Jewish day school. They are more white bread than an
authentic independent band, but after a one-song gig at a friend's Bar
Mitzvah ---a ska version of Hava Nagilah, the band's popularity
erupts overnight. Now Ari is facing a minefield of inflated egos, misplaced
romance and the shallowness of indie-rock elitism. Peppered with witty and
entertaining graphics, as well as an amusing Glossary of Jewish, Musical and Otherwise Esoteric Terms, So Punk
Rock will appeal to guy and girl teenagers alike.
