Blade Morrison is the son of a big name rock star. Sounds cool, right? Sure music is big in his family and he has everything a seventeen year old would want with little worries about money. However, his father is a drunk and his actions under the influence has created many problems for Blade. For example, his girlfriend's parents don't want her to date Blade because of his father. On his graduation, Blade is all set to sing his graduation speech when his father crashes his graduation. Literally, his drunk father crashes into the stage on his motorcycle! Fed up with his father, when Blade learns of a family secret he runs off to Ghana to learn the truth, but in the end learns more about himself. Written in poetry/song lyric form, this is a fun coming-of-age story. I strongly recommend this novel to those who enjoy all kinds of music and a positive coming of age young adult novel.
