First line: No longer am I that girl from before
Why you should read this book: Scout wants nothing more in life than to cosplay at AlmonteFest where her favorite author, Pristine Wong, will be doing meet and greets, but her father refuses to drive that far, and all seems hopeless until she realizes that her middle school band will be playing the festival. All she has to do to get that ride is spend the rest of the school year pretending to play the trombone, but Merrin, the band's first trombonist is onto her, and Scout ends up spending the entire year actually learning to play trombone under Merrin's intense and critical tutelage. In the process, Scout learns more about friendship and music than she ever cared to learn, and becomes a better version of herself with a different future than she could have imagine on her own.
Why you shouldn't read this book: If you don't start woodshedding, you're going to get kicked out of the band.
