for all independent kids

This is a marvelous story about a girl who dreams of being a conductor. Her single mother is a cellist in an orchestra, and Jellybean spends her days being quiet and ignored at rehearsals, and watching the conductor. Other complications involve finding out about her real father, and how others find out about her secret dreams. This book also shows what a New Zealand childhood is like, and is just overall a good read.
