Ten year old Zoe Elias dreams of having a grand piano, being recognized as a prodigy and performing at Carnegie Hall. Instead, she gets a Perfectone D-60 electric organ, lessons included. Soon she is preparing to perform in the Perfectone Perform-O-Rama. Zoe’s world includes a workaholic mother, an agoraphobic father, a quirky organ teacher, and a classmate who comes home with Zoe after school each day to bake with Zoe’s dad. Told in first person narrative and chapters that range from 2 words to a few pages, this book is both poignant and funny. Set in Michigan, this sweet story is appropriate for ages 8-12.

I agree on this one. This was one of my favorite books from 2007 and would make a great family read.
