520    "The Elegance of the Hedgehog meets The Perks of Being a 
       Wallflower in this novel celebrating being a little bit 
       odd, finding your people, and the power of music to 
       connect us For Steffi, going to school everyday is an 
       exercise in survival. She's never fit in with any of the 
       groups at school, and she's viciously teased by the other 
       girls in her class. The only way she escapes is through 
       her music -- especially jazz music. When Steffi hears her 
       favorite jazz song playing through an open window of a 
       retirement home on her walk home from school, she decides 
       to go in and introduce herself. The old man playing her 
       favorite song is Alvar. When Alvar was a teenager in World
       War II Sweden, he dreamed of being in a real jazz band. 
       Then and now, Alvar's escape is music -- especially jazz 
       music. Through their unconventional but powerful 
       friendship, Steffi comes to realize that she won't always 
       be stuck and lonely in her town. She can go to music 
       school in Stockholm. She can be a real musician. She can 
       be a jitterbug, just like Alvar. But how can Steffi 
       convince her parents to let her go to Stockholm to 
       audition? And how is it that Steff's school, the 
       retirement home, the music, and even Steffi's worst bully 
       are somehow all connected to Alvar? Can it be that the 
       people least like us are the ones we need to help us tell 
       our own stories? "--|cProvided by publisher.
