description: Avril Lavigne is rock's hottest singer-songwriter. Still only eighteen years old, she has shot to fame with her own unique blend of teenage attitude and rebellious songwriting. Her debut album, Let Go, hit the top spot in the US and UK, and spawned the massive hits 'Complicated', 'SkBer Boi' and 'I'm With You'. Avril started singing as a child in a church gospel choir in her small home-town of Napanee, Canada. She was plucked from these unlikely surroundings by Arista Records boss L.A. Reid at the age of sixteen and moved first to New York, then Los Angeles, to work on her music, and began writing songs. Her raw energy and irresistible songs proved the perfect combination for a generation of kids enthused by nu-rock bands like Blink-182, Sum 41 and Linkin Park. She has grown to be the biggest female rock star to come out of Canada since Alanis Morrisette. Avril Lavigne: The Unofficial Book is the first ever book about the most exciting rock star on today's scene. Illustrated with fantastic photos of the girl herself in action, and filled with all the information you could want about her, it's an essential read for any Avril fan.
