Sophie is trying to raise enough money so her high school marching band can march in the Rose Parade. She decides that the only way that will happen is if she gets county singer Megan Pleasant to come home to their town, Acadia, and perform to raise money for the band. She can’t do it alone though and asks for help from all of her friends including new comer August. The banter between the friends is sharp and really fun. The friends support each others ideas and thoughts and even when they get miffed at each other, find ways to use humor to work stuff out. The storyline was just ok. The “trying to get Megan to come perform” parts were not nearly as interesting as the conversations the friends had together. For ages 14 and up.
