review 1: Starting a garage band in the 1980's, music becomes Harry's safe place where scars don't matter, bullies are left behind, and friends are imperfect but true in this pop-culture-spiked audiobook narrated by Lincoln Hoppe that took me back to the music, movies, TV... and a Ford Econoline van I seem to remember... from my own young adulthood. The college admissions essay format occasionally interrupted the story, but I liked the songs as chapter titles, and who wouldn't want to go on a road trip with a band - 23 gigs in 19 states - at least while Dino the Econoline holds up. For readers who enjoyed Wonder, this coming-of-age story is less upbeat as the main character must overcome not only disfiguring scars, but PTSD from the bullying and lightning strike that caused ... morethem.
review 2: The Scar Boys by Len Vlahos – High School – Wow. Just loved every minute of this book. Was lost all day, finished in a day. Just couldn’t stop reading. Highly recommended. Sort of a high school wonder with the grit and tough situations that bullying can excalate to. Learning who you are and how to be a good friend and simultaneously speak up for yourself… forming a band and celebrating the music… breaking away from parent expectations and advancing expectations of your own… that’s what stood out for me… Loved this… less
