Nerdy Texas freshman Matt wants to play drums in a rock band, but that requires a drum set, which means earning money. Along the way Matt keeps coming up against "The Man. Capital T, capital M. Authority." With a little creativity he just might get his way. Illustrated with comical doodles, this quirky book has tons of adult-versus-teen humor.
