Ages 14-18

When David quit his band, he missed his shot at fame. For the past two years he has been trapped in an ordinary Seattle high school life, working summers for his dad's construction business while his former best friends Chance and Eli became the hottest teen pop act in America. Eli's death throws David and Chance back into contact. They rediscover all the little things that once made the two of them so close-- but their tentative romance is something Chance is desperate to keep out of the spotlight. Will this be David's ticket back into the band and the spotlight? -- adapted from jacket and Goodreads
