Cordy's life has been unraveling since the night his father and his brother, Travis, exploded on each other. The night Travis's addiction transformed him from budding musician into something entirely different. The night Travis took his saxophone and disappeared. When Cordy's father falls ill, the sixteen-year-old vows to reunite the Wheaton family. He embarks on a modern-day odyssey with forty bucks in his pocket and a dream to find his brother and convince him to be Travis again--by taking him to a show at Birdland Jazz Club in New York City, and reminding him of the common bonds they share with their legendary hero. Cordy's journey is soon haunted by ghostly visions, traumatic dreams, and disembodied voices that echo through his mind. He starts to wonder if the voices are those of the fates, guiding him toward his destiny--or if he's losing his grip on reality."-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20211027. 610 2 $a Birdland (Jazz club : 1949-1965) $v Fiction. 650 $a Father and child $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Young adult fiction. 650 $a Brothers $v Fiction. 650 $a Drug addiction $v Fiction. 650 $a Jazz $v Fiction. 650 $a Missing persons $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. 941 $a 1 952 $l FMPC224 $d 20220208010314.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D1F9721288AC11EC8370445E5CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
