Narrator Ginnifer Goodwin expertly matches the author's intensity in this singular novel, which delves into the depths of friendship and art. When Frankie receives a phone call threatening to unravel a decades-old secret, she flashes back to the summer when she was a smart, introverted, somewhat sad girl of 16. That was the summer she met Zeke, a new boy with a similar nature. Together, they secretly create a work of art to wake up their sleepy Tennessee town. Goodwin captures the quiet urgency of the teens as they create a masterful poster. When the poster becomes a sensation and takes on unintended meanings, Goodwin expresses Frankie's continuing artistic fervor and Zeke's fear of dangerous consequences. Once released into the world, can art--or youth--be reclaimed? L.T. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine - Booklist Reviews : Booklist Reviews 2022 November #2
In the summer of 1996, two bored teensâaspiring writer Frankie and her artistic friend Zekeâanonymously create a poster and make hundreds of copies to post all over their tiny town of Coalfield. Soon events spiral out of control as people begin to believe that the posters threaten the community, causing a panic. Twenty years later, a reporter for the New Yorker discovers Frankie's connection to the Coalfield Panic and wishes to write the story, forcing Frankie to look back at the consequences of that fateful summer. Goodwin's skillful narration, steady pacing, and youthful tone draw the listener into Frankie's story. Her believable performance will captivate the listener. Wilson reads his author's note at the end of the audio, which includes an exciting look into the book and the origins of the phrase that permeates Frankie's story. This coming-of-age story will engross the listener as they try to unravel the mystery of Frankie's sixteenth summer. Copyright 2022 Booklist Reviews.
