Summer, 1974: music, freedom and a little bit of rebellion. Between his parents' divorce, ADHD, a tangled love life and a desperate need to escape to the Ozark Mountain Music Festival, Jon "Two-Bit" Willis has more problems than he can count.
The biggest one is figuring out how to get to the festival without his parents finding out. With a questionable alibi, a stoner crew, and a Volkswagen Beetle, Two-Bit sets off on a wild ride filled with detours, disasters, and unexpected encounters.
Along the way, he juggles the affections of two girls and the growing realization that adulthood is just as messy as the road to Sedalia. When the trip takes an unexpected turn, he finds himself in a situation that forces him to finally confront his father - and the truth he’s been avoiding.
A nostalgic romp through the heart of the '70s, J Keith Thompson's 'Two-Bit Wizərd' is a tale of music, mischief and self-discovery.
Funny as hell! Great coming of age comic novel. Two-Bit and his posse create tons of misadventures as they try to make it to a music concert without a car nor parents permission. The writing is fantastic with a series of raucous similes. Highly recommended to anyone who as lived through adolescence!
A witty, heartfelt coming-of-age adventure bursting with '70s nostalgia, Two-Bit Wizərd hits all the right notes with its mix of humor, heartache, and the timeless quest to find your place in a messy world.
