Eighteen-year-old Leo Caraway has it all figured out. He's a member of the Young Republicans Club and Harvard-bound on a full ride. Then he finds out that the man he thought was his father, is not- he is the result of a one-night stand his mom had with a punk rocker. Then his scholarship is revoked after his helping a friend is deemed "cheating." Leo signs on as a roadie with his bio-dad's band for the summer. He's hoping that bio-dad will foot his Harvard bill. What he doesn't expect is to enjoy much of the summer on the road. Fast-paced and often laugh-out-loud funny.
