Rich is fifteen and plays guitar. When his girlfriend asks him to perform at protest rally, he jumps at the chance. Unfortunately, the police show up, and so does Rich€s dad. He€s in big trouble. Again. To make matters worse, this happens near the anniversary of his uncle€s death from a drug overdose years ago. Rich€s dad always gets depressed this time of year, but whenever Rich asks questions about his late uncle, his dad shuts down.
Frustrated by his dad€s silence, Rich sneaks into his office and breaks into a locked cabinet that holds his dad€s prized possession: an electric guitar signed by Jimi Hendrix. Before he knows it, Rich is transported to the side of a road in Upstate New York with a beautiful girl bending over him. It will take him a while to realize it€s 1969, he€s at Woodstock, and the girl€s band of friends includes his fifteen-year-old dad and his uncle, who€s still alive. In Are You Experienced? by Jordan Sonnenblick, what Rich learns, who he meets, and what he does could change his life forever.
