Sorta Like a Rock star-- Book Review

Sorta like a Rock star comes out in May 2010.

Loved the cover.

Amber Appleton lives in a bus. Ever since her moms boyfriend kicked them out, her mom and her totally loyal dog. Bobby big boy ( aka Thrice B) have been camped out in the back of Hello Yellow ( the school bus her moms drives). But Amber the self proclaimed princess of hope, refuses to sweat the bad stuff.( Back of the book)

Its beautiful story and loved how this was written. Amber always shortens everything..Amber is friends with 4 awesome boys who all seem to have some disablities of sort. She is part of the Fab 5. She is a Hugger and wants to help those in need. She is a very strong and independent young woman.

This book is in 4 parts

1. Feel the pain
2. Freak Scene
3. Puke & Cry
4. We are not alone

Amber does good deeds at Korean church, visits old folks , and talks to a veteran. I was surprised how much she did to help people considering her situation.

Amber story is a hard life but through it all she is happy. This book does get some what religious for a young adult novel and very deep, but I thought the addition of haiku's were a great add to the story and made the story flow.


Beautiful story of Hope and I cried while reading this book.

Book Review=4

Thanks to Little Brown for this book and this is my Honest Review.
