Reuter’s journalist and debut novelist, Susan Zeidler sends young readers on a musi-morphing (time-traveling and metamorphosis rolled into one) journey! In this fantastical coming-of-age story, Zoey Browne travels back in time via music, uncovers secrets about her family and discovers things about herself she never believed were possible.
The Practice Room weaves history and music into a fun ride that takes the reader and Zoey back and forth between worlds and settings as varied as a Los Angeles rock concert in 2002, Harlem in the 1930s, Woodstock in 1969, the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
