Bookroo's summary
A spirited young girl dreams of starting a band with her two older sisters. She must overcome stage fright, endure endless practice, and navigate sibling dynamics. Will her determination and enthusiasm be enough to turn their small gigs into something big? Follow her journey as she learns the true meaning of teamwork and perseverance in the world of music.
From the publisher
Do you want to be in a band? Well, here’s how! First, bug your two older sisters to start a band, and then beg them to join. (It helps if they already know how to sing and play guitar.) Then there are some tricky parts, like getting over STAGEFRIGHT and practicing until the tips of your fingers ache and playing gigs at not-so-big-time music clubs. At least, that’s the way our little sister narrator explains it in her “guide” on how to start a band, based on the real-life experiences of author Suzzy Roche.
