Music, ambition, and a summer at camp

Fifteen-year-old Geri arrives at a summer camp in Flagstaff with Chopin’s music and a clear goal: earn a scholarship that could help her pursue Juilliard. The camp setting brings that ambition into contact with new romantic complications and the pain she carries from her parents’ separation. When her relationship with Ethan is challenged by the arrival of his ex-girlfriend, Geri must weigh the scholarship against questions of trust, healing, and what matters most to her. Dance is not the focus here; the book’s performing-arts thread is rooted in music and Geri’s aspirations.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in coming-of-age stories about music and ambition.
  • Readers who enjoy summer-camp settings with romance and family challenges.

Book overview

Could life get any worse for fifteen-year-old Geri? It's hot. It's buggy, and she's at the worst place on the planet ... summer camp. To make matters worse, Geri carries the pain of her parents' separation. Nonetheless, she'll do anything to make her dreams of going to Juilliard come true, even if that means squashing spiders in the pursuit of a college scholarship.

With Chopin's sheet music in tow, Geri heads to Flagstaff, Arizona, and finds herself not only pursuing music but a romance with the camp's most sought-after guy, Ethan. When his ex-girlfriend shows up and threatens not only their relationship but also her dream, Geri sees her chance at the scholarship begin to slip away.

After a compromising situation and secrets about Chloe surface, Geri wonders if winning is the most important thing of all. She needs to decide if she can take steps toward healing, move on from the past, and embrace her future. Will camp be all that Geri thought it would be, or will it hold the keys to healing she never could have imagined?
