Lahni Schuler is trying to find her place in the world. She is a black girl, with ordinary white parents, who have sent her to a private school. Survival at school is not easy. Then to top it all, her parents announce that they are seeking a divorce. And, she is troubled by a "nutter" from the neighbouring boy's school! Suddenly we find out that Lahni can sing. The story is then about how Lahni discovers her identity through singing.
This was a enjoyable book, but I think that the story-line is unrealistic and the plot a little "thin".
Recommended for girls, aged 12 to 16.
