Drum Roll, Please, by Lisa Jenn Bigelow
This is author Bigelow's second book, according to the notes in Drum Roll, Please, but this is the first time I have read her work. Drum Roll follows Melly in her first foray into summer band camp - not just any band camp, but rock n roll band camp! Some usual teen story lines show themselves, such as friendship, romance, family struggles and the emotions that often come with all of that. But Bigelow also winds in a fair amount of musical reference - most of which seems to be catered to the older crowd (like your parents, for example) - that I enjoyed (being a more mature pug, of course), but might slip past many readers. It won't matter much. Drum Roll is a cute, pretty easy read, and good. The main romantic story line was pretty good and made me keep turning the pages. Some other parts of the book were a little predictable, especially for those of you who are more experienced readers. But overall this is a good read! It won't take up a lot of your brainpower, but is more of a light, vacation-type book. Decent, but not jaw-dropping. 3 paws!
