Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 9 Up—Suburban Vancouver teen Jay lives for his band's rehearsals. The Lunar Ticks are practicing for an upcoming Battle of the Bands that will match them against a neighboring high school's standout, Indigo Daze. Jay's growing crush on its lead singer adds a layer of romance to the story. The members of the band get into and out of trouble and into and out of fights with one another, and the group is ultimately successful at the competition (even though they don't win). The characters are edgy but likable. The short chapters and fast-paced, rock-themed action will appeal to reluctant and struggling readers, particularly those who are serious about their music.—Kristin Anderson, Columbus Metropolitan Library System, OH

Courtesy of Teens Read Too
BATTLE OF THE BANDS centers around Jay, who is trying to win a band competition. The only problem is that the girl of his dreams is also competing!
While all of this drama is going on, Kel and Cia (another member of the band) start going out!
And Jay and his midnight sneak-outs are getting a little out of hand.
Will Jay win the competition and get the girl?
That is for you to find out by reading BATTLE OF THE BANDS, a fun, short story.
