Over time, the girls come to realize how much they have in common. But beneath her extroverted veneer, Zora has her own dreams and desires that diverge from her parents’ plans. Zora seemingly couldn’t be more different: Her clothes are sparkly, and she’s bubbly and groomed for perfection by her high-achieving parents. She also meets Zora Johnson, a flutist and the only other Black girl there.
However, soon she finds friendship with Christopher Flores, a quirky Filipino American logophile who is harboring family secrets and trauma of his own.
When her aunt and uncle suggest she attend a prestigious summer music camp-with uniforms, a no-cellphone policy, and mostly White campers-she’s sure that going is a mistake. Living in a new town with her Aunt Janine and Uncle Mark, who are expecting their first child, Andi feels like she’s in the way of their growing family and has lost the magic she once felt when playing the trumpet. Following her mother’s death, rising eighth grader Andrea “Andi” Byrd is grieving and missing the trust and independence her artist mother afforded her.
