Shredding with the Geeks

(4) 4-6 Calico: Band Geeks series. Illustrated by Anna Cattish. Members of a middle school band get their moment in the spotlight in each volume of this series celebrating music, geekery, and camaraderie. The cast includes an array of personalities and backgrounds, and the plots--while heavy on lessons about honesty, bullying, popularity, etc.--generate sufficient drama to sustain narrative momentum. Angular black-and-white illustrations enhance readability. There are three other spring 2015 books in this series. Review covers the following Calico: Band Geeks titles: Dude, Where's My Saxophone?, Notes from a Pro, and Shredding with the Geeks.
