Review: The Vinyl Underground by Rob Rufus
A stunning historical fiction about four teens who are misfits during 1968, during the midst of the Vietnam War, who try to begin an anti-war movement within their school.
The story takes place in current day 1968, with a few flashbacks (in the form of letters) to Bruce, Ronnie's older brother who died whilst in service. It is honest, and definitely can resonate to current-day teens in the ways of showing how segregation and racial prejudice can impact lives.
I like how the main characters in the book all come together based on their connections to music, and I feel like music symbolises hope in this book.
I couldn't put this book down and I felt like this book is something that a lot of people will resonate with in this current age!
Rating: 4/5
