Boy Seeking Band by Steve Brezenoff

4.0

Terence Kato the new kid at school and he's looking to start a band - one just as good as the band he played bass in at his old private school before his mom died. But finding bandmates can be tougher (and more surprising) than Terence ever thought it would be. He might even find some friends along the way.
This was an ADORABLE middle grade book about some kids starting a jazz band that ultimately becomes more trip-hop and way hipper than any of them assumed it would be. The characters were unique and believable, the plotline was fun, and the ultimate message of friendship was perfect for a middle grade book.
Also, it's full of 14-year-olds who know more about music than most adults, so that was fun.
Highly recommended for young music lovers and for those who love heart-warming stories.
