An interview with the writer of a YA book about a fictional Jewish punk rock band

In doing my research, I found this podcast. Listen to it here.

"An interview with Micol Ostow, author of So Punk Rock (And Other Ways to Disappoint Your Mother, a 2010 Sydney Taylor Notable Book in the Teen Readers category. This very cool novel with graphic elements was illustrated by Micol's brother David Ostow. The interview was recorded in a busy Manhattan bar, so please consider the loud background noise to be atmosphere for this story of a teen garage band!"

If you find this book interesting, here's a couple of more books I have discovered, but haven't read, that deal with punk rock and religion.

• "Tales of a Punk Rock Nothing" by Abram Shalom Himelstein and Jamie Schweser
• A NPR piece on it
• The Taqwacores by Micheal Muhammed Knight
