3.0
What I liked about the book is what also disturbs me. It's great that the life of a folk artist is brought alive for a YA audience, it's also a great story of a youngster making a stupid mistake that nearly defines him but is redeemed and set back on track by a combination of support and self volition.
What disturbs me is that some reviewers already cast this as historical fiction when it's not. It's supposition and literary device blending just enough fact with a huge dollop of what the author wants to say. And the real hero of the story, the landlord- is made out to be a slimy money grabbing villain - not cool.
So 3 stars.
