If I Ever Get Out of Here by Eric Gansworth

4.0

For a book that is so much about music, there was potential to do a 60s/70s music infused audiobook (which would have been awesome!), but alas this is a pretty straight up reading of the book. The beginning of this book moves slowly, yet the growth of the characters & messages about friendship are rewarding in the end. I love the paradox between transient military families & rooted (too often forsaken) reservation families. I could see this as a good book for kids who loved the themes & setting of Sherman Alexie's True Diary.
