Revue de presse :
"The key is the amount of heart with which Rubens infuses his characters. They are flawed, authentic, and tragically real... Tailor-made for teen boys and the people who, for better or worse, know them." —Booklist "Funny and painful, it’s a sharply etched portrait of fallible human beings living, loving, screwing up, and making do—and a fine look at the Twin Cities music scene." —Publishers Weekly "A charming, at times brutally funny peek inside a slacker's mind." —Kirkus
Sons of the 613 by Michael Rubens (Clarion, 2012) * "This is a book every bar-mitzvah boy will want to steal . . . Everyone should read it the moment he becomes a man."—Kirkus, STARRED review "Rubens neatly gets inside Isaac's head, and although there's something to offend almost everyone here, there's also plenty to think—and laugh—about as well."—Booklist

Présentation de l'éditeur :
Sixteen-year-old Austin is always messing up and then joking his way out of tough spots. The sudden appearance of his allegedly dead father, who happens to be the very-much-alive rock star Shane Tyler, stops him cold. Austin—a talented musician himself—is sucked into his newfound father’s alluring music-biz orbit, pulling his true love, Josephine, along with him. None of Austin’s previous bad decisions, resulting in broken instruments, broken hearts, and broken dreams, can top this one. Witty, audacious, and taking adolescence to the max, Austin is dragged kicking and screaming toward adulthood in this hilarious, heart-wrenching YA novel.
