    About this ebook

    Back in New York City, piano filled Sami McGovern’s life, but moving upstate has changed everything. Thanks to the coach at Skenesboro High, Sami’s volleyball skills blossom like magic. But success comes at a cost, and the same sports drink that makes her a superstar silences her music. Worse still, to stay in the “in” crowd, she must betray the few true friends she has made in the tiny town. Her one hope: fulfill a prophecy to end the magic before it destroys her . . . and everyone else in its thrall.

      Very creative and interesting enough to make me want to keep reading. Some parts felt a little drawn out (some of the decisions Sami stresses over), but that’s true for the teen experience. *I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.*
