[edit] Additional Information
- Annotation - The guidance of two adults and his interest in motorcycles and writing help high school junior Bert Bowden regain the sense of self that had been destroyed by his fifth-grade teacher.
- From the Publisher - Terry Davis' If Rock & Roll Were A Machine offers us a priceless gift; Bert Bowden, an everyteen caught poignantly in the throes of becoming himself and torn by the task of breaking away from his loving-but-confused parents. It is the old story made new once again in the roar of Harleys, the pulse-like throb of an R & B baseline, and the silence of adolescent solitude. The story teaches us once again that the pain of "coming of age" is the purchase price of mature joy.
