A wonderful journey into the world of musicals for young readers with many talking points along the way . . . Amoore writes her novel in a bright, bold style that is perfect for the younger bracket she is aiming at . . . This is a great read for children aged between 11 and 14 and there is much for others to get from this book as well.
Rodney Hrvatin, Glam Adelaide
Recommended for readers, musicians, and lovers of Broadway from ten to fourteen.

The Watterson gang are back, and this time, Tess, Toby, Cookie, Casey and the rest of the gang from the first two books are here as well in a beautiful celebration of community, family, friendship, the arts and neurodiversity and the diverse world that has sprouted from the hilarious mind of the fantabulous Nat Amoore . . . This delightful, touching and funny book captures the love for the arts that we have and shows the power of words in pulling us together, along with music to create a community that values the arts.

A story of trusting friendships, building self-confidence and accepting people for who they are. Mac’s songs are sure to get your toe tapping as you follow his journey to save his school.
Michelle O'Connell, ReadPlus
This event-packed narrative is richly filled with colourful, well-rounded (often eccentric) characters and hums along as though positive, upbeat, happy music flows through its covers. As the narrator, Mac is firmly at the centre of all the action and the passion and good humour with which he tells his tale is thoroughly engaging.
