LitPick Review
Saved by the Music was about a fifteen year old girl named Willow. Her mom kicks her out of the house for the summer, so she has to go live with her aunt. Her aunt is making an ugly coffee boat into a chamber music concert hall. And so it begins. Willows struggle to lose weight, to find friends, to live. She thinks it's impossible. The only good thing about this place is Axel, the tall, sad Shakespeare loving (and dare I say very very handsome) boy who lives in a boat near Willow's. She tries to flirt with him in her straight forward way on the first day she meets him. When it doesn't work out with him, however, she turns to Craig, the leery, stupid, piggy construction worker whom her aunt hired to help her on the boat. As her and Axel's relationship grows, so does her need for a friend. When something awful happens to Willow, will Axel stand by her? Find this out and more in Saved By The Music.
Opinion:
I loved this book. It was the kind of read that makes you laugh and cry out loud. I felt as though I was part of the story as I read this 280 page book in one sitting. Towards the end of the book, Axel does something really stupid and I sobbed my heart out. When Willow finally becomes happy I felt touched in the soul. This book made all the emotions of the characters flow to you, and I guarantee you won't be able to put it down.
