520    "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 figures she can take on just about
       anything. Unfortunately, middle school is hard. The 
       teachers are mean, the schedule is confusing, and Jenna 
       starts giving hijab-wearing Nimra the cold shoulder aorund
       the other kids. Desperate to fit in and save her 
       friendship with Jenna, Nimra accepts an unlikely 
       invitation to join Barakah Beats, a band mad up of popular
       eighth-grade boys. The only problem is, Nimra was taught 
       that music isn't allowed in Islam, and she knows her 
       parents would be disappointed in her. So she devises a 
       plan: 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"--Provided by publisher.
