YA
All Sammy wants to do is play guitar; unfortunately, with his band there's more drama than there is music. Plus, he starts dating his best friend and must cope with his grandpa's deterioration. Sammy's voice isn't always convincing, but his passion (each chapter title is one of his favorite songs) comes across loud and clear.
