Sing Like No One's Listening

A talented young singer grapples with the death of her mother, anxiety, and love during her first year at a prestigious performing arts school. "Anglophiles, music and theater nerds, and those looking for some classic will-they-won't-they romance will all find something to enjoy here." --Kirkus Reviews Former West End performer and author Vanessa Jones delivers a well-crafted journey of grief and healing in her debut YA novel. Nettie Delaney has just lost her mother and, despite a dreadful audition, has been accepted into a prestigious performing arts school--the very same school her superstar mother attended. With her mother's shadow hanging over her, Nettie has her work cut out for her--and everyone is watching. To make matters worse, she hasn't been able to sing a single note since her mother died. Whenever she tries, she just clams up. If Nettie's going to survive a demanding first year and keep her place in a highly coveted program, she'll have to work through her grief, find her voice, and deliver a showstopper. Or face expulsion. An ideal read for teen fans of theater and Broadway musicals, Fame, and Glee.
