About this item
High school Sophomore, Whitney Connolly, is living in a house turned upside down. After her father abandoned his five children, just months after their mother’s death, her oldest brother dropped-out of medical school to try and keep the family together. As if that weren't enough, Whitney’s medication gives her musical hallucinations that disconnect her from reality and score the drama with her siblings and the high school mean girls to pop music. Meanwhile, sister Lexi parties too hard, brother Jason can’t deal, and the youngest Connolly, Sam, is just trying to survive middle school. As long as they can stick together, there’s a chance they can track down their dad and bring him home. Unfortunately, the family is on the verge of breaking up and one wrong note could disband them before they find him.
About the Author
Hi ! I'm Jen Calonita, a MG and YA author who loves what I do because it lets me connect with all of you (and no, I wasn't intending for that to rhyme!) .I've been writing ever since I can remember, but it was fourth grade when I put my "three wishes" for a genie down on paper. They were:#1. Buy all the Cabbage Patch Kids in the world and give them away for free (because apparently that was how I rolled) .#2. I wanted a mansion, limo, lake house, pool and speed boat (still sounds quite nice) .#3. I wanted to be an author for young readers, which I am!I love writing novels for teens (and for savvy grown ups who know that YA rocks at any age) . My first series was "Secrets of My Hollywood Life" and it followed a teen star named Kaitlin Burke who struggled with the fame game. I have also written the stand-alone novels Sleepaway Girls, it's companion book, Summer State of Mind and the Belles series. I've been writing middle grade too and am having so much fun with my series Fairy Tale Reform School! The fourth book in this series about a school run by former villains is called Tricked and will be out March 2018. Ever wonder what it would be like if your parents got a job with someone like Taylpr Swift? My other middle grade series, VIP, follows super fan Mackenzie Lowell as she tours with her favorite band, Perfect Storm. I promise to give book updates here, and on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or my website. I hope I hear from you!xoJen
