This compelling collection of stories explores the powerful impact that music has in our livesāespecially in the lives of teens. Each story strikes a new note: Ron Koertge introduces us to the boys in the bandāthe marching band; Joseph Bruchac contributes a Native American boy with no rhythm whatsoever; Jennifer Armstrong writes about what was perhaps the first battle of the bandsāduring the American Civl War; and David Levithan offers up a love song that speaks powerfully to an unintended audience. But while each story is different, they combine into a harmonic song of praiseāfor the depths music can reach in us, and the power it has to bind us together.
