Another Clements Classic submitted by mjanen on July 12, 2014, 7:05pm Great for late elementary/early middle school.

Clements submitted by unknown on July 21, 2014, 1:33pm I remember really disliking this audiobook as a kid.

Fantastic submitted by peterflorence on July 30, 2014, 3:18pm This book is fantastic

a typical Clements tale submitted by camelsamba on June 30, 2016, 8:57pm This seemed like a typical Clements book: school setting, kid who overturns the system, etc etc. Some of the timing seemed completely unrealistic - even if they were singing mostly in harmony, the staging and logistics seemed highly advanced given the amount of time they had. But it was a fun car book at the holiday season, entertaining enough for ages 12-18 plus parents.

Maybe spoilerish: the synopsis implies the kids know this could be last concert because of budget cuts, but they don't. How do publishers get away with inaccurate blurbs? Not the first time I've seen one.
