If you’ve ever heard drumrolls and rhythms in your head, this story is for you.
Set during a recession, Sam and her family are experiencing hard times. But sixth grader Sam has a dream to play drums, and she’s gutsy enough to lie and mow lawns to pay for lessons and save for her own drum set someday.
Her worries about friends, cuts to the school’s music program, and her parents fighting over money mean that drumming is the only thing that’s saving Sam.
Through sheer determination and lots of practice, this girl who everyone said would never be good…
From Jennifer's list on middle-grade about kids making music.
