Description

After a one-song gig at a friend's Bar Mitzvah, the Tribe's popularity erupts overnight. Now, Ari is forced to navigate a minefield of inflated egos, parents, romance, and the shallowness of indie-rock elitism.

Quick Summary

When a one-song performance at a Bar Mitzvah turns a group ofๆ™ฎ้€š teens into overnight indie rock sensations, they quickly discover that fame comes with a minefield of ego clashes, embarrassing parents, and trying to figure out who their real friends are. Kids will devour the authentic humor about navigating the ridiculous pressure to be cool while still dealing with the everyday disappointments of teenage life. If your kid loves the snarky, relatable voice in "Why We Broke Up" or the awkward friendship dynamics in "The First Rule of Punk," they'll definitely dig this. Ideal for teens in grades 9-12 who enjoy funny, contemporary stories about friendship and finding yourself.
