Going Underground wasn’t an easy book for me to read, mostly because I knew during the flashbacks what the end result was going to be for Del (since it’s revealed at the beginning of the book that he got into huge trouble for something and it’s basically destroyed his life).
But what has Del done? In flashbacks to Del’s fourteenth year, we slowly learn the truth: his girlfriend texted him a revealing photo of herself, a teacher confiscated his phone, and soon the police were involved.īasing her story on real-life cases of teens in trouble with the law for texting explicit photos, Susan Vaught has created a moving portrait of an immensely likable character caught in a highly controversial legal scenario. As a result, he can’t get into college the only job he can find is digging graves and when he finally meets a girl he might fall in love with, there’s a sea of complications that threatens to bring the world crashing down around him again. At seventeen, he’s trying to put his life together after an incident in his past that made him a social outcast-and a felon. Del is a good kid who’s been caught in horrible circumstances.
