Publisher Description
For Hart Evans, being the most popular fifth grader has its advantages: kids look up to him and teachers let him get away with everything. But during one choir practice, Hart zones out too far, accidentally flinging a rubber band at his teacher. Mr. Meinert realizes that if Hart is ever going to discover his musical potential, his punishment must march to a different drummer. And then, as Mr. Meinert is about to leave school because there is no funding left for his job, he orchestrates a class vote to appoint Hart as the new interim choir director. Now it's Hart's job to ready the class for the annual Holiday concert, and ultimately to convince the board why his teacher should stay in school.

"This book was pretty good. It was like a sneak peek into this one moment in time when everything and everyone just comes together perfectly. Each character was developed, although they weren't really explored in depth, and the story reflected school and classroom dynamics in a very real way. It also touched on biggers issues affecting education today, such as the lack of funding forcing districts to cut vital programs like music and the arts."
