Summer of Mud by Rebecca Bischoff – Review by Emily H

Summer of Mud by Rebecca Bischoff
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It is the summer of 1976 and Scoob has the chance of a lifetime to play trumpet with a band. Even though she is only eleven, she is talented beyond her years but when her brother RC insists they are heading out of town so he can perform at a music festival, Scoob has no choice but to follow. Scoob learns some tough lessons in life all the while trying to get back to audition for a major band. Life has a way of taking turns you do not expect though and Scoob will turn twelve soon and life lessons are going to be a bit harder to swallow, but hope is a powerful thing.

This was intriguing. I think the author got the vibe of the seventies correct, it was a different time and people were a bit more carefree and open. Scoob’s story was a bit heartbreaking as she had her own life path she wanted to follow. Was pulled in and curious where the story would go.
