Eighth-grade clarinetist Tatum longs to be in District Honor Band, but new student Michael is tough competition for a coveted spot--and for BFF Lori's attention. Along with this jealousy, Tatum deals with an awkward potential romance and her parents' divorce. Dominy ambitiously takes on many issues, but her handling of them (especially changing friendships and competition) is spot on.
