Why read it?

1 author picked 2 A.M. at the Cat's Pajamas as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Madeleine is a nine-year-old girl with big dreams to sing jazz at the Cat’s Pajamas, and she’ll let nothing stop her from attaining this goal. This book simply cannot be put down. As the time crept toward 2 A.M., the tension built. I laughed and I loved and rooted for Madeleine to make her debut.  

From Deena's list on that I couldn't put down.
