Bookroo's summary
In Bailey City, the new band teacher, Mr. Belgrave, claims a skeleton can play the tuba better than the students. Eddie is skeptical and sets out to discover the truth behind the mysterious music. Is it just a trick, or is something supernatural at play? As the band practices, the stakes rise, and Eddie must solve the mystery before the music stops. Can he uncover the secret of the skeleton musician, or will the truth remain buried?
