Bookroo's summary
Zoe Elias dreams of playing a grand piano, but her dad brings home a wheezy organ instead. As she navigates her mom's workaholic tendencies, her dad's fears, and an odd classmate, Zoe enters the Perform-O-Rama organ competition. Will she discover that life's imperfections can lead to unexpected harmony? Join Zoe on her journey to find music in the most surprising places.
From the publisher
Ten-year-old Zoe Elias, who longs to play the piano but must resign herself to learning the organ, instead, finds that her musicianship has a positive impact on her workaholic mother, her jittery father, and her school social life.
