Born To Rock

Born To Rock

Born to Rock is a 2006 novel by Gordon Korman.

Plot

---SPOILER WARNING---

This book centers on the life of 18 year old Leo Caraway, a member of the "Young Republicans" group at his school. He discovers that his biological father is a punk rocker named King Maggot (real name: Marion X. McMurphy). Leo's scholarship to Harvard University is revoked after defending a classmate for being gay. He joins Maggot's band, Purge, as a roadie, to convince Maggot to pay his tuition. Further on in the novel, however, he discovers that King Maggot is not in fact, his biological father. It is instead Bernie, the man Leo considered up until that point to be his cousin. Even though Maggot is not his father he choses to help because Bernie is an unfit father. Maggot pays for Leo's tuition money for Harvard.

This novel is currently being made into a motion picture to be released some time in 2009
