THE SKALLYWAGGLES - BOOK ONE - Missing the Beat
Lose the beat... lose everything.
The Skallywaggles are the greatest band in the galaxy. Cruiser on guitar, Natasha on keys, Precious on bass, and Vargot - a robot with eight arms and a beat you could set your watch to. They don't just play music - they run on it. Every song they perform powers their guitar-shaped spaceship and brings music, energy, and joy to every planet they visit.
But Admiral Andrack has had enough.
Armed with his sinister new invention - the Time Scrambler - Admiral Andrack and his Silencers throw the Skallywaggles into total musical chaos.
Vargot can't keep time.
The band can't play.
The ship can't fly.
And without flight...
...the Silencers are gaining ground.
To save their music - and themselves - the Skallywaggles must discover rhythm somewhere unexpected... somewhere they never imagined looking.
A funny, fast-moving musical space adventure about teamwork, self-doubt, courage, and finding your own rhythm.
The first chapter book in the beloved Skallywaggles series.
+ INCLUDES BONUS FEATURES
What Is a Beat? - the real science of rhythm - plus 7 discussion questions for classrooms, families, and young musicians.
Ages 7-10 - Chapter Book
