She and her mother moved to Louisiana from the Philippines when she was little, and her mother still cooks Filipino foods and chastises Apple for becoming “too American.” When Apple’s friends turn on her and everything about her life starts to seem weird and embarrassing, Apple turns to music. If she can just save enough to buy a guitar and learn to play, maybe she can change herself. It might be the music that saves her . . . or it might be her two new friends, who show her how special she really is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eErin Entrada Kelly deftly brings Apple’s conflicted emotions to the page in her debut novel about family, friendship, popularity, and going your own way. “A must-read for those kids cringing at their own identities.”—Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat happens when the music you love becomes your only way out?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFilipino American Protagonist:\u003c\/b\u003e Twelve-year-old Apple loves The Beatles and her mom’s Filipino cooking, but feels caught between two worlds in her small Louisiana town.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNavigating Middle School Bullying:\u003c\/b\u003e When a cruel list circulates at school and her once-best friends turn on her, Apple has to find the courage to face the taunts alone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA Love Letter to The Beatles:\u003c\/b\u003e Inspired by her hero, George Harrison, Apple believes that learning to play the guitar is the one thing that can save her and help her find her place.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFinding True Friendship:\u003c\/b\u003e A heartfelt look at the pain of losing friends and the joy of finding new ones who see you for who you really are.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Greenwillow Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46818017083647,"sku":"9780062238610","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780062238610_s600x595.jpg?v=1779894606","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780062238610","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
