In book 2 of the Major Eights series, Scarlet goes solo and risks alienating her bandmates.

After their Battle of the Bands competition, the girls are famous! Everyone knows who they are now--even strangers recognize them!

Should she really leave the band and her friends behind?

With each book told from a different girl's perspective, this series is all about girl power, diversity, and marching to the beat of your own drum!

5.0 out of 5 stars I was delighted with this second book about The Major Eights
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2018
Verified Purchase
I was delighted with this second book about The Major Eights, which I thought was even better than the first book in this series! Scarlet wants to be a star and she thinks she can do it alone. Although she struggles with the issue of disappointing her friends, she signs up for the last available spot in a talent show as a solo act instead of signing up the band as she had told her friends she would do. By the end of the story Scarlet has learned the value of working with a team and her friends have shown her that friendship is more important than a talent show. The children with whom I have shared this book have all enjoyed it. I am looking forward to the next books in this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great! Wholesome lessons but still realistic and relatable.
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2018
The characters' dispositions are true to their 8 year old nature: Selfish and unforgiving. Still, THROUGH these feelings they manage to make it work.
I've skimmed a lot of young reader's books before giving them to my kids. I've found most of them to be completely predictable and unrealistic (characters definitely not acting in ways you'd expect for their age range or experiences). These books have proven to be well researched, the characters have believable life experiences that back-up their talent (or lack of). Their musical capacity is never over estimated in rehearsal or on stage (though the way the author puts together a stage worthy performance for them is quite clever)!
