Vox
Pop, a talented and enthusiastic high school rock
band, is determined to win the national rock band competition. Told in the
first person by Paige, a bassist, the whole story pounds with the beat of the
band (not surprising considering the writer’s experience in the field) and
tells of the time (covering five school terms) leading up to the National
Finals. The other people in the band all have their very real problems but it
is mainly the story of a young woman who knows what she wants and is not afraid
to go for it.
