Music is in Sammy s blood. His grandfather was a jazz musician, and Sammy s indie rock band could be huge one day if they don t self-destruct first. Winning the upcoming Battle of the Bands would justify all their compromises and reassure Sammy that his life s dream could become a reality. But practices are hard to schedule when Sammy s grandfather is sick and getting worse, his mother is too busy to help either of them, and his best friend may want to be his girlfriend.
Told in a voice that s honest and wry, "Struts & Frets" will resonate not only with teenage musicians but also with anyone who ever sat up all night listening to a favorite album, wondering if they d ever find their place in the world."
