Shooting Stars on Main Street Andrew Siecienski

Once I was a child and then I came of age. Alex is fourteen. His family life is tough. He drinks, he smokes and he runs amuck with a motley band of skateboarding punks. He thinks he is tough enough to take on the world but when his world turns upside down, can Alex stay right-side up? Drawing many characters and events from the author's own childhood, Shooting Stars on Main Street is a darkly humorous coming of age story, complete with its little twists and turns on words. There are also plenty of music references. Whoever can find them all - wins.
