If I Ever Get Out of Here Audiobook (Free)

‘A heart-healing, mocs-on-the-ground story of music, family members and camaraderie.’ — Cynthia Leitich Smith, writer of TANTALIZE and RAIN ISN’T MY INDIAN NAME

Lewis ‘Footwear’ Blake can be used to the joys and difficulties of lifestyle around the Tuscarora Indian booking in 1975: the joking, the Fireball video games, the snow blowing through his roof. What he’s not used to is white people getting good to him — people like George Haddonfield, whose family recently relocated to town using the Atmosphere Push. As the males connect about If I Ever Escape Right here through their shared passion for music, specifically the Beatles, Lewis must lie more and more to hide the reality of his family’s poverty from George. He also offers to cope with the vicious Evan Reininger, who makes Lewis the special target of his wrath. However when everyone else is normally on Evan’s aspect, how do he end up being defeated? And if George finds out the reality about Lewis’s house — will he still be his friend?

Acclaimed adult author Eric Gansworth makes his YA debut with this wry and effective novel about friendship, memory, and the joy of rock ‘n’ roll.
