(3) 4-6 Irritated by and jealous of her best friend's new pal, Jenna enters a music competition with sixth-grade outcast Heather. The pair's daily flute practice helps Jenna battle her stage fright and gives her a glimpse into Heather's troubled home life. The story and writing are formulaic, but the protagonist is likable and characterizations push beyond narrow, good guy/bad guy labels.
