(4) YA Illustrated by Adam Gustavson. In 1971 Los Angeles, fourteen-year-old Quinn spends his days listening to albums, writing a music column for the school newspaper, and trying to spot his idols around town. But current events--and his first girlfriend--disrupt his comfortable routine. The book offers interesting historical perspective, but its plot is disjointed and the plethora of period musical references may lose some modern readers.
