It follows the lives of three friends who have bonded through marching band at their San Antonio, TX high school&#8211;shy Olivia, whose father died a few years ago; Vanna, who used to be cool when she lived outside of Dallas but was recently forced to move after her father cheated on her mother and they divorced; and Fatima Garcia, the daughter of Mexican immigrants who can&#8217;t get her mother to stop nagging her about losing weight. They are also friends with a boy in band named Alex, who has feelings for Fatima (but he doesn&#8217;t tell her this). <br \/>The boy issues are nicely balanced with friend and family issues, and there are good messages that fit nicely into the story without judging or shoving it down the reader&#8217;s throat. I would recommend this for the final list. Caitlin Stevens, Bedford Public Library<\/p>\n<p>I decided to read this book based on Caitlin&#8217;s review. I did indeed like the story. The three friends all have a problem they need to learn to accept. In the end, they all do. It&#8217;s a neatly put together story, that resolves happily. To me, even though the characters are freshman in high school the book reads more like a middle school interest level. This would be more appropriate for the Isinglass award.
