“You don’t understand and I can't stand it….. You don’t understand and I can’t stand it….”Danny’s got big problems; teenage problems. His ears stick out, his mum’s a control freak and he doesn’t fit in at school. Maybe his dad could help him but he doesn’t  know where he is. Or who he is. And things are about to get worse.... much worse.When Danny meets guitarist Stan, he's sucked into a world of sleaze and underground music. Chess club and homework are gone, replaced by false promises, drink, drugs and gigging.  All around them, the 90s' music scene is exploding.  And suddenly, ecstatically, their band is a part of it, pulled in on the coat tails of the burgeoning scene. They are teetering on the brink of success.  And that should feel great, shouldn't it?Well..... not for Danny. Not now. Someone is taking control of his life. And his quest to find his father is about to reveal who.  What people are saying...  From start to finish the pace is fast. Great memories for those of a certain age and a hard edged, compelling story line. The sign of a good read to me is when i click on Kindle where ever and when ever i have a quiet moment. Danny reluctant is that book.  ????Fast paced and relevant. Particularly loved the scene of the first London gig... hilarious! Also, loved the jamming descriptions.... the author clearly loves music.  ?????I loved this book. It's fast moving, funny and sad, and really captures teenage life. It'd be great to see a sequel one day.  ?????Danny Reluctant is a fast paced, Young Adult novel, that appeals to the teenager in all of us. If you lived it large in the 90's, you'll love what you find in these pages; a love note to a bygone era.
