I have put off writing a review for this book despite having read it over a month ago because I am nervous about not being able to express how wonderful this title is. Music From Another World is a queer historical fiction novel told through the perspectives of Tammy and Shannon, both students at Christian high schools during the Gay Rights movement in the 1970s. The two girls form a friendship after being assigned as pen pals for a school assignment. This book does a terrific job incorporating real historical events into its storyline and is both inspiring and beautiful. It is a must-read for both teenagers and adults alike!
