Rebecca Hendricks to Exhibit First Book in Her Rock-n-Rolling Teen Novel Series at the L.A. Times Festival of Books 2024

The L.A. Times Festival of Books is not merely a celebration of literature but also the various forms of culture found in many of the exhibited works. These include glimpses into the worlds of fantastical genres as well as a look back into different, colorfully pivotal points of history.

For Rebecca Hendricks and her book, none tops the mind more than the rock-n-roll scene of the 1950s. The title of her book is “Hound Dogged,” with many readers praising it for how she had accurately captured the atmosphere of the time, particularly for those who were still in high school.

“Hound Dogged,” the first installment of the Hound Dogs series, immerses readers in the vibrant yet tumultuous era of 1958, a time when Rock & Roll dominated the airwaves, and young teenagers dared to push parental and cultural boundaries. Meet John, Stu, Jerry, and James, four young men whose passion for music compels them to form the Hound Dogs.

As they strum carefree in Stu’s mom’s basement, ambitions grow within the band. Anxious to start performing, Stu, impulsively commits the band to appear at a friend’s birthday party. Against his better judgment, John reluctantly agrees to the performance. With the looming specter of failure, a talented newcomer, Danny Bruer, joins them on stage, saving their efforts in the nick of time.

However, Danny plans to audition for The Dice, a successful band facing their own set of challenges and ambitions. Despite the competitive landscape, Danny’s choice sets off a chain of events that will test the bonds of friendship and loyalty among the Hound Dogs.

Will the group’s camaraderie prove strong enough to withstand the troubles and competition that culminate in a clash with The Dice?

Embark on a memorable journey with the Hound Dogs as they navigate the intricate dynamics of friendship, love, and loyalty amidst the tumultuous backdrop of 1958’s growing musical landscape.

Visitors to the upcoming L.A. Times Festival of Books 2024 can find out how both bands throw down when “Hound Dogged” goes on display at the self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet’s exhibit at booth #225. The festival will take place on April 20-21, 2024, at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA.
