Rock Star Superstar

By Nelson, Blake

Publishers Summary:
When Pete, a talented bass player, moves from playing in the high school jazz band to playing in a popular rock group, he finds the experience exhilarating even as his new fame jeopardizes his relationship with girlfriend Margaret. Music is Pete's life. He's happiest when he's playing his Fender Precision bass, whether he's jamming with his dad at 2 a.m. or covering Top 40 hits. Pete doesn't care about playing the hottest club or getting the cutest girl. For him, it's all about the quality of the music. Until he meets the Carlisle brothers. Pete could play circles around Nick and Billy Carlisle-the guys are amateurs. But there's a power in their sound that's exciting, and they need a new bass player. Pete joins their band, not quite sure what to expect. Before he knows it, he's on a wild ride that transforms him from jazz band geek to potential rock god. Is Pete ready for superstardom? More importantly, is it even what he wants?
