Radio Free Texas by Libba BrayMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Bowie is ready to start senior year in his small Texas town when Comet sets off a firecracker, and he takes the blame. He now must do 100 hours of community service, and he decides that the radio station is the easiest of all options. As hours become days, Bowie discovers his own radio voice and a possible relationship with Comet. What will Bowie learn about himself, his town, and his friends in this final year of high school?
Radio Free Texas is a stand-alone historical fiction story that had me laughing at the antics and sending quotes to my friends. Bray has taken the voice of a teen boy and made it accessible to every reader. The fact that the events in this story took place 50 years ago and are still relevant today shows that, at the core, teens will always be teens. Radio Free Texas is a great read for those who don’t want to read about “historical history.” 😊
