Turn It Up

From the author of the Fairy Tale Reform School and the Belles series comes a contemporary YA that sings with hilarity and fun. The Nightingales are in a serious funk. Bradley Academy's all-girl a cappella group used to be the pride of the sunshine state, but the Nightingales have recently fallen out of harmony. Best friends and co-captains Lidia Sato and Sydney Marino haven't been speaking ever since a boy came between them. And not just any boy-none other than Griffin Mancini, the lead singer of Bradley Academy's smug all-boy a capella group, the Kingfishers. The Nightingales have no chance of making it to the big state final if their captains are at each other's throats. Their only hope is new girl Julianna Ramirez. But in addition to her serious pipes, she has some serious stage fright. The Nightingales will have to come together if they want to shine at the upcoming competition and restore the group to its former glory.Turn It Up! follows Lidia, Sydney, and Julianna through the ups and downs of friendship, romance, competition, and finding the perfect song!

Doris is a little monster who is so shy and quiet that everyone always asks her to turn the volume up, until the day when her brother is in danger and she has to raise her voice to call for help.

Behind every squad, there's a story. Welcome back to the world of high school cheerleading. Fresh from the excitement of Regionals, the Northside High JV cheerleaders have set their sights on the prize -- Nationals. But even the most devoted Timberwolves can't eat, sleep, and breathe cheer. Kate's distracted by her new boy-slash-friend, and Devin's dealing with her own long-distance relationship. Emily is overscheduled as usual, and Chloe has taken an interest in community service, volunteering at a local organization that helps families facing tough times. When Chloe discovers that one of their own needs help, can the squad rally to support their teammate? Book 2 in the Varsity series has more best-friend drama, boy trouble, and, of course, sideline spirit!

For nearly 25 years, Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune has been reviewing all parts of the popular music world: from indie up-and-comers and underground hip-hop artists to arena-filling rock-and-rollers and celebrity pop superstars. Turn It Up: A Guided Tour Through the Worlds of Pop, Rock, Rap and More is the first-ever collection of Kot's Tribune articles, covering the years of 2000–2013. Beyond informative and entertaining features, concert recaps, and album reviews, Turn It Up covers major issues associated with music and the music industry since the turn of the millennium. Kot delves deeply into issues that matter regarding the essential acts of the 21st century, the business of music as a whole, and the Chicago music scene in particular. With chapters grouped by genre—pop, rock, and rap—and a catch-all final chapter containing insights on digital music, record labels, and the evolving "music biz," Turn It Up is an easy-to-follow guide to where the music world has come from and where it is going.
