Then her friend suggests Riley auditions to become a drummer in a band. Riley attends a local college and has a few great friends who try to help out as much as they can, but you can feel that she is struggling at times and you feel for her. Her mother is struggling, her father has left for a much younger woman and Riley needs to help take care of her sister. In The Band is about a young woman named Riley Middleton who has to give up her dreams of going to college and playing in the school’s marching band. Jean writing is easy to read, the characters are great, and this is one of those books you don’t put down till you’re at the end. This is the first time I have read anything by Jean Haus and she is an amazing author, this book In the Band was fantastic. Even the issues with Riley's mom and family.

He's a bit dark and brooding, jerk (a bit), sweet, perfectionist, slave driver, HOT, talented and boy genius. I've been having that dream where I'll buy that Drum Mania machine for my house and so I could play drums there. Although in this case, it's a girl who played the drums and she totally ROCKED it. I keep on mentioning that I really like drummers.

But never got to learn it really well cause I'm not patient. I like music, who doesn't? I always wanted to learn to play guitar. I'm getting hooked with books that has that kind of genre. I've been looking for a story with music in it. I'll just go and enumerate why I like this book a lot.
