"I don't know. One, he's a jerk.
Two, I don't think my parents
would let me.
So, don't tell them. We'll cover
for you!
Why are you so desperate for me
to do this?
'Cause you'll get to learn how
recording works.
The only thing really stopping
us from recording our own
album is, we don't know how."
This is the third novel in the Eagle Rock Series about Bina and her love for music. At 14, she has worked hard to make a name for herself. She has new friends and her band, Fancy Pink, finally gets a break after blowing an opening gig with hit band Anne Surly. Following the show, the merch rep for Anne Surly asks for demo of one of their songs. Quickly, they hear that she and her father love their music and want to use it in a remake of a popular television show. Bina is over the moon. She is excited to agree to record it.
Bina's parents say no, and so do the other parents. In talking to her bandmates, they decide they will try to earn the money needed to pay for making the record themselves. They will lie to their parents about doing it. At the same time as they are dealing with band issues, Bina goes on a few dates with Cooper, a cute member of Anne Surly's band. Things do not go so well, and the two decide they will remain friends. Dating Cooper has shown Bina just how much she misses her BFF, Austin. Maybe she should tell him how she really feels. How will he react if she does? What will happen with the recording contract?
The two-tone pink artwork is appealing and very effective. Fans will be very happy to see Bina navigate the events as they play out. Familiar characters, and lasting friendships play a strong role. They have grown and changed, while dealing with issues important to a teen's sensibility. This is a terrific addition to a very popular series.
