"Realistic, affirming, and uplifting. "--Kirkus Reviews
Third-grader Aven Green is a real professional musician! She just needs
to choose what instrument to play. When she decides to try the piano,
Aven is disappointed when she can't master Mozart in one whole day. To
pick up Aven's beat, her parents take her for a four-hour drive to see
someone just like her play the guitar. With new inspiration and a
special gift from her great-grandma, Aven is ready to take on the school
talent show. Will she be ready in time? Or will she blow her big
chance?
