17yr old Jasmine Kiss is everything her father expects her to be. The last thing he expects is her taking a year off to pursue her dreams of joining a band as lead guitarist,He kicks her out and its up to Jasmine to find out if she can make it on her own w, no with no job, no place to live and no band. Everything starts to look up when she finds a great room (assuming she can convince the awesome band living in it she’s perfect for them). All she has to do is get over a case of stage fright and a maybe, she’ll make it in the band and prove to the cute bassist that she’s got what it takes.
No seriously, its not a teen book. This is a really awesome children’s book written by Lane Smith. In this increasingly digital age you have to wonder if there are people who have no idea what a book is. Watch the animated version below to get an idea of its awesomeness!

I read that these are books EVERY teen needs to read. I’m afraid that when it comes to this list I’m gonna have to buckle down and get reading! I haven’t read nearly enough of them! What about you? Have you read them? How many have you read?
