Bookroo's summary

Twelve-year-old Emmy feels out of place in a new school until she discovers a passion for coding and music. Her bond with Abigail, a fellow music lover, offers hope, but secrets and a teacher's bad news threaten her harmony. Can Emmy find her true note in this symphony of challenges?

From the publisher

In this innovative middle grade novel, coding and music take center stage as new girl Emmy tries to find her place in a new school. Perfect for fans of the Girls Who Code series and The Crossover. In a new city, at a new school, twelve-year-old Emmy has never felt more out of tune. Things start to look up when she takes her first coding class, unexpectedly connecting with the material–and Abigail, a new friend–through a shared language: music. But when Emmy gets bad news about their computer teacher, and finds out Abigail isn’t being entirely honest about their friendship, she feels like her new life is screeching to a halt. Despite these obstacles, Emmy is determined to prove one thing: that, for the first time ever, she isn’t a wrong note, but a musician in the world’s most beautiful symphony.
