New school, new friends (if she makes any), new house, and a new husband for her mom. It's nothing new for 14 year old Calle. Since her dad abandoned her and her mom when she was a baby, Calle and her mom have been moving around the country. Her mother, at almost every place they go, falls in love with some Ford-driving man who deserts her and then they move again. Because her mom doesn't keep scrapbooks or a lot of photos, she keeps a song journal. There, she writes down songs that remind her of memories. Calle doesn't expect for her mother and her new husband to stay very long together, so she's prepared to get up and move again. At school she tries to stay hidden, friends are hard to have when you move all the time. Although she soon finds herself in a group of friends and meets a mysterious football player. She later finds out that life is more complicated than she think, especially when lies are involved.

-Our Rating: I liked this book, I must say though, it wasn't my favorite. Personally I thought the book was a bit slow. I enjoyed the rest of the book though, excellent summer read, and a great book for music freaks.
