About the Book
Anthony, fifteen, helps his mother, a has-been actress, pay the bills by playing guitar in Central Park. One day he meets Kelly Callahan, a girl with a beautiful voice, singing in the park, and they work up an act together. They become successful street performers- and fall in love. But Kelly is not who she claims to be. When she reveals her true life, their friendship is severely tested.
“A great deal of action. Will appeal to thoughtful teens.”—School Library Journal
