Heavy Vinyl: Y2K-O! By Carly Usdin
SAVE THE INTERNET, SAVE THE WORLD (OF MUSIC)!
It’s 1999 and Chris is living her dream: working at Vinyl Destination by day and fighting for (musical) justice by night (okay, maybe during the day too) in the world’s coolest teen girl vigilante fight club. But when the girls of Vinyl Destination enter a Battle of The Bands – to investigate and, of course, win – they learn that the shadowy corporate masters of the music industry plan to destroy the fledging world of digital music and blame it on Y2K. Now it’s time for Chris and the gang to dial up 56k (or more, pretty please) of justice so they can save the day once again!
The girls are BACK! And honestly, I’m so excited. This graphic novel is easily my favorite graphic novel series because it is just such an amazing representation of strong female leads in graphic novels and YA fiction. The LGBTQ+ representation is amazing and all there. Reading this graphic novel really just gives me good feelings!
Our storyline this time is actually quite entertaining. The Vinyl Destination crew is trying to save the music world before the clock strikes midnight on the year Y2K. For our younger readers, that’s a reference to the New Years Eve of 1999 when all the clocks in the world and all the computers of the world were feared to revert and possibly not switch over to the year 2000. (Yes this is a real thing… people thought the computers would switch back to 1900 instead and things like the stock market would be wrecked.) But fear not! That obvs didn’t happen. We deal with subliminal messaging, computer hacking, a ticking clock and possibly… the end of the world as we know it.
This is an excellent follow up to Heavy Vinyl and I cannot wait to see what lies ahead for the Vinyl Destination Crew!
