"When fourteen-year-old foster kid Iz Beaufort fakes her way into prestigious music school, she must keep her school life and foster life separate or she'll be kicked out of both school and her current foster home. But a chance to pursue music-to have a voice-might be worth risking everything"-- - NBN
A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection!
A fierce voice longs to break free. A spark ignites inside fourteen-year-old Iz Beaufort when she hears school music group Manifesto perform. Even though she hasn't written a song since That Place, she recognizes herself in the moving performance and longs to be part of the group, certain that they might actually understand her. But Manifesto is based at the prestigious Métier School, and Iz has bounced through twenty-six foster homes. Plus, there's no way Dominion Children's Care would ever send a foster kid to a private school when a public option is available. So Iz does what any passionate, broken, off-the-chart wunderkind might and takes matters into her own hands. Iz fakes her way in only to face a new set of challenges: tuition fees, tough classwork, and new classmates she can't immediately identify as friends or foes. And if she can't handle all this while keeping how she got into Métier a secret, she could get kicked out of both school and her current home. But a life with musicâa life where Iz gets to have a voiceâmight be worth risking everything.
