Summary:

"It's Nimra Sharif's first time going to public school. Nimra's nervous, but as long as she has her best friend, Jenna, by her side, she can take on anything. Unfortunately, middle school is hard. The teachers are mean, the schedule is confusing, and Jenna starts giving hijab-wearing Nimra the cold shoulder around the other kids. Desperate to fit in and save her friendship with Jenna, Nimra accepts an invitation to join Barakah Beats, a band made up of popular eighth-grade boys! The only problem is, Nimra was taught that music isn't allowed in Islam. She knows her parents would be disappointed in her. So she decides to join the band just until she wins Jenna back, then quit before her parents find out. But Nimra's lies quickly start to unravel. And as she grows to care about her bandmates, Nimra has to decide whether to betray her new friends - or herself. This is a joyful story about faith, friendship, and finding the courage to do the things that truly make your heart sing." from the back cover.
