- W4252754272 abstract "Reviewed by: Anthem by Deborah Wiles Elizabeth Bush Wiles, Deborah Anthem. Scholastic, 2019 [480p] (The Sixties Trilogy) Trade ed. ISBN 978-0-545-10609-2 $19.99 E-book ed. ISBN 978-1-338-49745-8 $12.99 Reviewed from galleys Ad Gr. 5-8 Molly's beloved older brother, Barry, left home in a rage and hasn't been in communication for a year. The arrival of a letter instructing him to report for a physical comes as no surprise; it's 1969 and Barry is eligible for the military draft. Hoping to track him down before the military does, Molly's mother and aunt arrange and finance a road trip for fourteen-year-old Molly and her sixteen-year-old cousin, Norman, to head to San Francisco and bring the errant young man home. Nor-man, who will drive his own refurbished school bus, is armed with a few letters from Barry that shed little light on his whereabouts, and he reluctantly puts his own plans for forming a band on hold for this mission; Molly is all determination, convinced she'll know where to sniff Barry out when they get there. For the bulk of this hefty novel, Barry recedes into the role of McGuffin as Norman and Molly make a musical tour of the U.S.A, meeting up with the Big Names (Elvis even slips them some cash), hippies (tempting Norman to stay on a New Mexico commune), broken vets and proud vets, and of course, a stray dog. The road trip is predictably staged, and the encounters are overburdened with the advice of wise elders, but the often contentious relationship between Norman and Molly is believable and compelling, as each comes to the realization that Barry is a user, best left to his own fate. Generous sections of period news photos and articles that appear throughout the text immerse readers in events and issues, supplying context for Molly and Norman's eye-opening adventures. Author notes are also included. Copyright © 2019 The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois" @default.
