Illustrated by
Laura Huliska-Beith.
Since she was a baby, Violet has loved making music, but it takes her until late childhood to find kindred spirits (they become her band mates). The writing has punch, but it's implausible that any kid nowadays would have trouble meeting other music fanatics. Meanwhile, Huliska-Beith's art has the perkiness and pizzazz of a good pop song.
