Soundtrack: A Novel by Jason ReynoldsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Stuy has left his mother and moved in with his uncle. He had taught himself to play the drums, just like his mom, and while at his uncle’s house, he meets other players and they form a band. They are becoming popular as an underground group, yet the pressure each is faced with is varied and real. When their bassist must hide from the police, they must really go “underground.”
Soundtrack is a realistic mixed medium story. Most is narrative with a lot of poetry and play-type dialogue interspersed. The original story was an audiobook with a full cast performance, and this print version does a wonderful job adapting it to a new format. Fans of Reynolds will not be disappointed with this newest addition to his library.
