Radio Free Vermont is the story of Vern Barclay, a 72 year old radio personality who accidentally finds himself leading a secessionist movement (after a misguided prank at the brand new Walmart), including a pirate radio station that communicates their ideas to the people of Vermont. Vern and his compatriot Perry are hiding out at the house of his friend Sylvia, a firefighter who runs a class for new Vermonters. Along the way they also draw the support and help of Trace, an Olympic biathlete that Vern once coached. Vern, Perry, and the rest of the crew find themselves in much deeper than they ever imagined as the authorities close in. Can they reach their end game in time?
I thought this book hit all the right humor notes, and he really captured the spirit of Vermont.
