(4) 4-6 Calico: Band Geeks series. Illustrated by Anna Cattish. Junior-high band-mates take on new challenges as this series continues. The young musicians deal with student teachers, side projects, interpersonal rivalries, and even a stint as music-camp counselors. While the plots are predictable and exhaustively spelled-out, the well-delineated ensemble cast, down-to-earth conflicts, and clear enthusiasm for music-geekery will keep the series' target audience engaged. Angular black-and-white illustrations enhance readability. Review covers the following Calico: Band Geeks titles: Band Camp Rules, Mr. Byrd Flies the Nest, Nothing but Treble, and Settling the Score.
Reviewer: Claire E. Gross
