YOUNGER FICTION
Cox, Judy

Ukulele Hayley

(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Amanda Haley. This cheerful story about a third grader who finds her talent, and then uses it to organize a band (and save the school's music program), will appeal to independent readers who like everyday, undemanding school stories with a peppy heroine. The happy ending ties everything up in a neat bow. Black-and-white wash illustrations break up the chapters. Ukelele-playing tips are appended.
