FOLDED NOTES FROM HIGH SCHOOL

An ensemble cast of narrators gives each student in this 1990s high school drama a unique voice that reflects each character. The story is told through the notes passed between students. Sound effects, such as the opening of a note and the scratching of a pencil on paper at the beginning of each chapter, help set the scenes. Narrator Taylor Spreitler creates a striking voice for Tara, who dreams of becoming the star of the high school musical and eventually leaving her hometown as she strikes out for the big city. Teen listeners will be intrigued by a retro story that pinpoints the trends of the time but also finds commonalities with the ways students communicate and navigate the tumultuous years of high school today.
