Free Piano (Not Haunted)
Margo, a lonely aspiring songwriter, discovers her secondhand synthesizer is haunted by a 1980s pop star, leading to an unexpected bond and a journey of self-discovery as she grapples with the true meaning of making music and fame.
From beloved graphic novelist Whitney Gardner comes a big-hearted, touching, and spooky coming-of-age story about a young aspiring songwriter who forms a ghostly partnership with the pop star who haunts her secondhand piano.
The piano is free, but fame has a price.
On the sleepy streets of Cascade Cove, lonely Margot knows that when she stumbles across a discarded synthesizer with a βnot hauntedβ sign, she has discovered the key to realising her dreams. Determined to become a real songwriter and earn her absent fatherβs admiration, Margot dives headfirst into trying to gain followers and fans online. But her musical journey takes an unexpected turn when she realises the (not haunted) piano is very muchβ¦ haunted.
Enter Vision, teen pop sensation of 1979 whose untimely demise left her spirit intertwined with the keys of her synthesizer. Though Margot and Vision couldnβt be more different, the girls form an unlikely bond fuelled by their shared passion for music.
But as Margotβs obsession with fame and recognition grows, she may come dangerously close to losing what she loves about musicβ¦ and herself.
