Book Review: Between
the Notes by Sharon Russ Roat
Ivy Emerson’s life is forever changed when her father’s
business fails and the cost of her brother’s therapy for a disability causes
the family to lose their home. The
family moves from a posh, affluent neighborhood to Lakeside which for Ivy is
the same as living on the wrong side of the tracks. The new apartment, a quarter of the size of
her home will not fit her beloved piano! Ivy’s piano is the primary way she
deals with her emotions which she expresses by composing and singing about the
events of her life. Ivy hides the
change from her high school friends and a cute new guy with whom she hopes to
start a relationship. The more Ivy tries
to hide the change in her life with lies the more complicated things
become. Along the way she also sees how
much she thinks she knows about her friends and new people she meets in
Lakeside that she thought she could never like. As events unfold Ivy learns that not
everyone is who she thought they were…including Ivy herself.
A delightful and charming story that is sure to be enjoyed
by teen readers and adults alike!
