About the Book:
Summer, 1974: music, freedom and teenage rebellion. Jon "Two-Bit" Willis faces enormous challenges: his parents' split, a messy high school love life, and his ADHD. But the biggest problem is sneaking off to the Ozark Mountain Music Festival without his parents finding out. With a questionable alibi, a stoner crew and a Volkswagen Beetle, he sets off on a nostalgic ride through the ‘70’s, full of detours, disasters and unexpected encounters. Two-Bit Wizard is a tale of mischief, music, and self-discovery for any age reader. Whether you are a member of the ‘Baby Boomer’ generation or Gen Z, ‘Two-Bit Wizard’ has something for everyone.
