Omschrijving

In a timely, insightful story told with sparkling wit and heart, young musicians protesting plans for budget cuts navigate miscalculations, indifferent adults, and unexpected loss as they discover the power of speaking out and the value of listening.

“A brave and dazzling debut, this timely novel is a blueprint for hope.”—Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medalist and best-selling author of The One and Only Ivan

“Keen and clear and fiercely funny.”—Linda Sue Park, Newbery Medalist and best-selling author of A Long Walk to Water

“Brilliant, sharp, comic, poignant, and true.”— Gary D. Schmidt, two-time Newbery Honor-winning author of The Wednesday Wars

“A splendid novel filled with honesty and heart.”—Karina Yan Glaser, best-selling author of the Vanderbeekers series.

Fifth period is hands down the best time of day in Connor U. Eubanks Middle School, because that’s when Mr. Lewis teaches Jazz Lab. So his students are devastated when their beloved teacher quits abruptly. Once they make a connection between budget cuts and Mr. Lewis’s disappearance, they hatch a plan: stop the cuts, save their class.

Soon, they become an unlikely band of crusaders, and their quest quickly snowballs into something much bigger—a movement involving the whole middle school. But the adults in charge seem determined to ignore their every protest. How can the kids make themselves heard?

Student Activism: When the grown-ups won’t listen, a small group of students decides to make some noise, starting a movement that takes over the entire school. Saving the Arts in School: With their beloved Jazz Lab on the chopping block due to budget cuts, the band hatches a plan to stop the cuts and save the programs that matter most. Finding Your Voice: From quiet kids to passionate crusaders, this is a story about discovering the power of speaking out and what it takes to finally make the adults listen. Multiple POV Story: Told from the distinct and funny voices of each member of the Jazz Lab, this story explores friendship, teamwork, and the courage to take a stand.
