With his band promised fame as rock stars although their audience will mostly be young children, Blake Lear--the band's lead singer, songwriter, and mad genius--takes America by storm and succumbs to temptation as seen by his adopted son, Sweet.
From Wesley Stace comes a compelling novel about the life of America’s unlikeliest rock stars.
Sold-out concerts, screaming fans, TV shows, Number Ones. This is the rock and roll dream, and the Wonderkids are living it. But something’s wrong. The gigs are sold out, sure, but the halls are packed with little kids - not sexy hipsters. Edward Lear, the Wonderkids’ lead singer, songwriter, and resident mad genius Blake Lear has always written lyrics as silly as they are infectious. Rock and roll has always been for the kids, right? This is why Blake has no objection when the band is offered a deal with the devil: the Wonderkids will be rock stars, adored and revered. The catch? Their audience will be children. The band takes America by storm, and things go very right - until they go very wrong.
