Five Flavors of Dumb by Antony John

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Piper, who is accustomed to not being heard, is practically daring people to take notice of her now. For this deaf girl is about to take on a big challenge: she's going to be a manager of a rock band. She's determined to make this band a real band--a band that earns money. She is initially hampered by lack of both experience with intra-band politics and knowledge about music (a rational person might have thought these traits a plus). But the band, for better or worse, seems to be clashing in all the wrong ways, in impossible-to-ignore ways. Egos are larger than talent at times. It certainly doesn't help matters that two new band members have joined Dumb since it won the Teen Battle of the Bands. Can Piper do the impossible? Can she be the brains of Dumb?
