WE GOT THE BEAT

by | Read by Lindsey Dorcus

Young Adult Ages 12+ • 9.25 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2024

Lindsey Dorcus depicts a teen romance between a newspaper nerd and a volleyball jock. When Jordan Elliott is given the volleyball beat for her school newspaper, she's devastated--not least because her nemesis, Mackenzie West, is captain of the volleyball team. Dorcus captures all the conflicting feelings that Jordan has about her unwanted assignment and about working closely with Mackenzie for a semester. Dorcus's portrait of an overachieving yet generally well adjusted 17-year-old keeps listeners feeling sympathy for the young reporter. Jordan's family and friends are portrayed as mostly likable and supportive, while teachers and other students at the school run the gamut from mentor to mean girl. Overall, Dorcus creates a well-rounded cast of characters. K.M.P. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2024]
