About this ebook
In this coming of age novel, Carrot learns what love, family, and friends mean by the harsh reality called life. He and his friends are part of the nerdy group at Monrovia High School in 1965. Working at a local teenage dance club, they make their way through the social minefields of high school and trying their hand at being "adults".
Carrot is transformed to "Red" as he gains self confidence and falls in love with Yolanda. JD is his friend and mentor on everything cool. Along the way, they have many encounters with friends, foes, and odd characters from the time.
Music plays a big part of the vibe in their adventures. A complete play list is at the start of the novel to bring you back to the mid 60s.
