Summary:

In small-town Florida in 1968, four teens who bond over music and their objection to the Vietnam War decide to take a stand against the U.S. government and violent racism.
1968, just south of Jacksonville. Ronnie Bingham is grieving his brother's death in Vietnam. Milo is Ronnie's bookish best friend. "Ramrod" is a star athlete who is secretly avoiding the draft. Hana, the new girl, is a half-Japanese badass rock-n-roller whose presence doesn't sit well with their segregated high school. The four find sanctuary in "The Vinyl Underground," a record club where they spin music, joke, debate, and escape the stifling norms of their small town. As Ronnie's eighteenth birthday looms, they hatch a plan to keep him from being drafted. After a horrific act of racial-charged violence, they decide it is time for an epic act of rebellion. -- adapted from back cover and perusal of book
