Booktalking "The Road to You" by Alecia Whitaker
Bird Barrett is the latest country music sensation. She singing opening acts for other stars, such as Jolene. She lives and breathes words mingled with acoustics. Her life is filled with touring, stardom, and dealing with her mother and father's reaction to her fame. With an overprotective manager father, the girl has her hands full. Then, she meets Kai, who is also touring with his own band. Together, they luxuriate in their shared interests. Bird writes lyrics and sings, while Kai's band pursues another variety of music.
Kai affects Bird in a way that no other boy ever has. She feels an electric spark whenever he is around. Since they are both touring, they must endure time apart. However, their time together is golden. They explore each other's minds and hearts, and they fit as if they are pieces joined in a puzzle.
