My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Summer of Mud by Rebecca Bischoff is a great historical children book

Twelve-year-old musical prodigy Scoob hopes to follow in the footsteps of the legendary Louis Armstrong and become a jazz legend in the summer of 1976. She must, however, leave the streets first. Scoob believes her luck is going to change when she gets a lucrative gig; she gets to perform in front of a well-known band leader who has his own TV show. However, RC, Scoob’s elder brother, takes his younger sister along on an unwanted road trip. Scoob and RC are broke and unable to buy food, so they “borrow” gas along the route until they become stuck in the tiny Idaho town of Rexburg. Residents of the picturesque rural village are divided over the safety of a recently constructed dam, which is the subject of intense discussion.

Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. The story really brings us into their world. I couldn’t put the book down.
