Publisher's Summary:

To Tim Anderson, playing the guitar is as natural - and just about as important - as breathing. Hes already decided hes going to be a musician. But his father has other career plans for him - all involving college. And now, because Tim is on the verge of flunking math, hes been forbidden even to touch his guitar. It couldnt have happened at a worse time. A top record company has just announced a nationwide contest for teenage rock groups - with a recording contract as first prize. Tim is sure his group, The Silver Sunshine, has a good chance of winning.

Tims best friend, Charlie Hoving, urges him to ignore his fathers orders. But Tim just cant do it. In spite of their disagreements, he basically likes and respects his father. So he obeys the ban (more or less) - until a crisis arises on the night of the contest

Tim realizes his only chance to make it is to leave home and go to New York City. His decision leads to some unpleasant experience with a man named Crazy, some rude shocks from the record company executive who had given him encouragement back home, and some surprising, and confusing, discoveries while playing with a new group, The Sound System. Tims stubborn pursuit of his dream, and his initiation into the high-voltage world of rock music, make an exciting and absorbing story.

The Rock Star

"The Rock Star" is about a boy about the age of 16, that lives in Hammerton, California. There is not much to Hammerton, just one school and some residential areas. The boyï¿s name is Tim Anderson who plays the lead guitar for his band of four high school students and friends called the silver sunshine. One day Tim and his best friend Charlie go to the local music and candy store downtown and they see a poster for the national battle of the bands concert coming up. The poster explained that the band who wins the contest gets a contract to Wolf Records. Tim Anderson and his boys start practicing for this contest, but, there is only one problem. Tim is not ver estute at math, and he is having major trouble trying to pass it, and his father took his guitar away. Timï¿s father then gave him a lesson on why entering the music world is soo bad, and what it can do to you. Tim had to have his guitar, so he steels it and takes it with him to the area concert that night. He and his band play many numbers, and the crowd loves them. They end up getting first place. There is a man there named Hary Jurgan who worked for Wolf Records, who said after they finished that Tim was very good and if he ever was in New York to give him a call and maybe he would do something for him. Tim was very excited, though when time got home his parents found out that he was in the concert playing his guitar, so they grounded him. Tim sad and distressed ran away from home. He met people that tried to kill him and people that helped him. His destination was New York. He lost his guitar and suitcase, so he had to buy a cheap guitar with the 60 dollars he ran away from home with. When he gets to New York he gets directions to the Wolf Records company building, then goes there. Harry Jurgan bearly remembers him, but he hooks him up with a band called the sound system, well, things started out not looking so good. Tim was running out of money and Harry was changing their music and Tim was getting tired of it so he was about to leave, when his dad showed up.
