| Summary |
"Lou has the voice of an angel, or so her mother tells her and anyone else who will listen. But the two of them have been performing the country fair and street corner circuit for so long that Lou can hear only the fear in her own voice. She's never liked crowds or loud noises or even high fives; in fact, she's terrified of them, which makes her pretty sure there's something wrong with her. But when Child Protective Services separates the mother-daughter duo after a snowy accident, Lou is forced to start all over again at a fancy private school, far away from anything she's ever known. Luckily for her she meets Well, an outgoing sixth-grade actor extraordinaire. With his help, and that of her aunt and uncle and the school counselor, Lou begins to see things differently. A sensory processing disorder isn't something to be ashamed of, and music just might be the thing that saves Lou--and maybe her mom too."--jacket. |
