Book One of The Orion Sessions - a middle-grade mystery series with a soundtrack, where friendship, music, and mystery collide. The ultimate summer binge read.
At thirteen, Orion Casey has stopped singing-and it's not because she stopped loving it. After the girls that everyone else follows start talking about her instead of to her, she's finished performing for anyone.
Then the messages start.
Anonymous. Encouraging. A little too perfectly timed.
Someone's been watching her-really paying attention-and part of Orion can't help hoping it's the one person she wishes would notice her back. The texts give her confidence she didn't know she had-enough to discover songwriting and a new way back to her music.
But as friendships shift and secrets surface, Orion begins to wonder: when your sense of self keeps changing based on who's watching, how do you figure out who you really are?
The one downside to this novella is that it's over too soon; thankfully sequels will follow.- Kirkus Reviews
