Description: In his heart Walter (aka Goth Moth) is a drummer--he has rhythm in his blood. There's just one problem: he doesn't have a drum kit, much less a band. But when he stumbles onto a rock concert featuring his favorite star--Jitterbug--everything changes. Could it be that Goth Moth's bold step into the daylight will put him in the limelight?

Review Quotes: "Translated adeptly from the original German, the rhyming couplets roll forth like song lyrics, which is unsurprising given that the author runs a children's music project in his spare time. The artwork, with its dramatic and stunning angles, is done in multimedia collage as boldly colored as the hair of an '80s punk band [...] it remains a sweet and simple message about self-acceptance, individuality, and letting your voice be heard." -- "Booklist on Jitterbug"
