Wildflower by
Alecia Whitaker (received through LibraryThing)
4 stars
Sixteen year old Bird Barrett travels the country
performing with her family’s country/bluegrass band playing the fiddle and
singing backup. She is discovered while
singing lead for her sick father and is propelled into the life of a recording
artist. As Bird grapples with her
emerging fame, she must learn the rules of the publicity game and how to hold
onto the relationships that she hold dear.
As a character, Bird is a realistic and wholesome sixteen year old who
really strives to make good decisions. I
cringed at times when she had to sacrifice some of herself for the sake of her
studio and I look forward to reading about how she handles it all in future
books. This is a good young adult book
that could be read by younger readers without qualms but is enjoyable for any
age. I received this book from the
LibraryThing Early Reviewers Giveaway.
