Unlikely
you'd pick up a book about a concert cellist unless
you played one yourself. However, this book is more
than it's character's talent. It's about having the
chance to taste the style of your parents' teen
years -- the sounds of heavy metal, flower
children, hippie life styles and off beat ideas.
Sibilence, a name she gave herself at 8 years old,
has a chance to audition for a famous cellist. She
decides it's the perfect time for her to drop into
her mother's life -- the mother who wasn't ready to
care for her back in the sixties. Her dad prepares
her for the cross country trip to her flower child
mom by trying to collect the props of the Age of
Aquarius -- a VW bus, Animals' music and the slang
of the day. What they find is a
surprise.
