4.0

Larry rebels. He doesn't have a reason, but takes up the bongo and starts acting like a beatnik. His friend Martin doesn't understand why Larry is doing these things, but he gives Larry's new interests a chance and finds out that they are fun.
The themes of this book include accepting others, trying new things and sticking by friends/family.
I think this would be a fun addition to beat literature by showing an exaggerated stereotype of a beatnik.
