Road Rash By:mark Huntley Parsons


 Road rash is a very interesting book about a boy named Zach, who was part of a musical band called “The Sock Monkeys” . The lead singer Is Toby , who Zach describes as a rock-star wannabe. Toby acts self-centered and very much sarcastic. To Zach, a band is about sticking together , to be honest they are not really the best band around, “Bad Habit” is the best band around the town , Glenn Taylor is the best guitarist around. Everyone knew that they were actually going to get somewhere . So when Glenn Taylor compliments Zach on his talent and offers him an opportunity , and Zach turns him down . You could tell that Zach isn’t making the best choices. As soon , as “ The sock Monkeys” kicked him out for a downgraded drum player , Zach raced back to “ Bad Habit” to continue his music career. The outcome of joining 
“Bad Habit” is going on tour with them . The question is will the result be good or bad?  



One of the conflicts in the book was in the beginning when Toby, the leader of “The Sock Monkeys” , decided that Zach didn’t need to be on the band any more and kicked him out. For Zach that day was very inimical because his best friend, Kyle, backed him up but didn’t really do much so that Zach could stay in the band.The second conflict that appeared in the book was when Zach had already started to get comfortable around the band members and then, Brad, the lead singer started to condemn Zach’s drum playing. Another major conflict for the heroine was Jamie, she had a long-lasting crush on Glenn Taylor and although it may not seem, this was a conflict because in a way it affected Glenn Taylor. therefore affecting Zach.
