Zebrafish

About the book
Vita is a purple-haired singing queen, and she has big dreams for her rock group, Zebrafish. But when she holds auditions for the back-up band, tryouts are sorely lacking in the musical ability department. Luckily her new bandmates—Walt, Tanya, Jay, and Plinko—have other talents. But lately Tanya has been missing a lot of rehearsals. When Vita discovers why, she realizes that the group can be about much more than one person, one band, or even one school. A concert won’t cure Tanya’s cancer or make her treatments any less painful, but, in their own way, Zebrafish can make a difference—and the tale of their unlikely success is sure to strike a chord with young readers looking to make their world a better place.

My take
I had a lot of trouble following what was going on. It skipped around constantly and didn't have a good flow to keep me interested. I stuck with it though figuring it would work its self out in the end. The message is a good one, although it could be lost on kids as the book is so hard to follow. They only touch the surface on "causes", I think it could have been expanded upon quite a bit. A so-so graphic novel for young adults. This one fell flat for me.
