Best Selling Books by Jerry Scott

Jeremy Duncan, 16 ans et future star du rock (c''est lui qui le dit), est aussi lycéen. Outre les problèmes de tous les jours - percer dans le monde impitoyable de la musique, comprendre sa petite amie, trouver le courage de ranger sa chambre, supporter sa mère psychologue qui veut toujours tout expliquer - Jeremy s''est donné une mission. Une mission un peu moins égoïste que celles qui l''occupent habituellement : aider son pote dont la mère est gravement malade. Que c''est dur d''entrer dans l''âge des responsabilités... Sous couvert d''un humour décapant, voici un portrait d''adolescents d''une rare justesse. Un roman graphique drôle et touchant, adapté de façon très littéraire d''une BD culte !

- ''Zits'' debuted in July, 1997 in more than 200 newspapers - one of the strongest strip introductions in years. It went on to win the Best Comic Strip award from the National Cartoonist Society two years in a row, and to appear in more than 1100 newspapers. Variety has reported that scribe Adam "Tex" Davis (Big Fat Liar) has signed on to adapt ''Zits, '' into a Universal Pictures feature film.- Coming-of-age stories that draw on the author''s family history, are one of the most frequent subjects, for major Hispanic-American writers; these include: Oscar Zeta Acosta (Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo), Luis Rodriguez (Always Running: La Vida Loca, Gang Days in L.A.), Sandra Cisneros (The House on Mango Street), Richard Rodriguez (Hunger of Memory), Rudolfo Anaya (Bless Me Ultima), Arturo Islas (The Rain God) and Gary Soto (Living up the Street). The true-to-life scenarios of Zits, whose anecdotes are derived from the author''s own personal experiences raising children, will likely strike a chord with Hispanic,readers.
