Music Camp

From multi-award-winning author Penny Tangey comes this funny, thought-provoking middle-grade novel about the highs and lows of music camp, and camaraderie in the climate crisis.

Miley and Juliet have nothing in common, apart from a love of music.

Miley can't afford the five-day Music Camp because she lost her home in a flood, but she's won a scholarship to attend. This is her chance to prove to everyone that the recorder is a serious instrument.

Flautist Juliet comes from classical music royalty. Her late father was an esteemed clarinet player and she wants to honour his legacy. She's also keen to make friends with people who don't know about her tragic past—though perhaps not with that girl who thinks the recorder is a serious instrument.

Over the week, Miley and Juliet don't always see eye to eye, especially when they both audition for the only woodwind solo at the final night's concert. But with torrential rain threatening to flood the camp, their dreams might get washed away. How can they put their differences aside and face the music together?
