A spark ignites inside fourteen-year-old Iz Beaufort when she hears school music group Manifestoperform. Even though she hasn't written a song since That Place, she recognizes herself in the movingperformance and longs to be part of the group, certain that they might actually understand her.But Manifesto is based at the prestigious Métier School, and Iz has bounced through twenty-six fosterhomes. Plus, there's no way Dominion Children's Care would ever send a foster kid to a private schoolwhen a public option is available. So Iz does what any passionate, broken, off-the-chart wunderkindmight and takes matters into her own hands.Iz fakes her way in only to face a new set of challenges: tuition fees, tough classwork, and newclassmates she can't immediately identify as friends or foes. And if she can't handle all this whilekeeping how she got into Métier a secret, she could get kicked out of both school and her current home.But a life with music—a life where Iz gets to have a voice—might be worth risking everything.
