A fierce voice longs to break free.A spark ignites inside fourteen-year-old Iz Beaufort when she hears school music group Manifesto perform. Even though she hasn't written a song since That Place, she recognizes herself in the moving performance and longs to be part of the group, certain that they might actually understand her. But Manifesto is based at the prestigious Mtier School, and Iz has bounced through twenty-six foster homes.

And if she can't handle all this while keeping how she got into Mtier a secret, she could get kicked out of both school and her current home. But a life with musica life where Iz gets to have a voicemight be worth risking everything.An Apple Books Best Book of 2023!A compassionate, character-driven story that will particularly resonate with music lovers. - Kirkus
