Urban, L. (2009). A crooked kind of perfect. Orlando: Harcourt.
Summary: The character Zoe Elias has aspirations to be a musical prodigy. First though she has to get a grand piano but she ends up getting a wheeze bag organ. And the Perfectone D-60 comes with an old lesson book with old songs. Along with that problem Zoe has more like her mom who is always working, her dad who is afraid to leave the house and an unusual boy who follows her home on a daily basis.
Evaluation criteria: Style/Characters - Urban's style for this book is words or phrases for chapter titles that relate to particular chapters. This gets the reader hooked to read on. The character Zoe is like any other young girl. She speaks to her parents like children talk to their parents now a days.
