"When your grandmother fakes her death, leaves you a cursed kazoo, and a league of rogue music teachers tries to brainwash the town with polka... that's Tuesday for Juniper Finch."
The sleepy town of Sharp Note Bay is anything but quiet when 13-year-old Juniper arrives with her backpack of kazoos, a knack for chaos, and a recorder that's equal parts instrument and Swiss Army knife. But when her grandmother's "death" reveals a secret bunker filled with musical spy gear-and a warning about the League of Eternal Crescendo-Juniper's talent for turning Hot Cross Buns into crime-solving anthems becomes a matter of planetary importance.
HIGHLIGHTS:
A disco-breakdancing T-rex skeleton (it's a long story).Exploding pi atas that spray GPS coordinates instead of candy.A jazz band of retired plumbers hiding in the sewers from HOA fines.A kazoo that manipulates time (7-second increments only-great for pranks, terrible for saving the world).A showdown in a concert hall where Juniper weaponizes Baby Shark against a mind-control symphony.SNEAK PEEK DIALOGUE:
Juniper: (blowing a recorder to melt a walkie-talkie) "Call that molto espressivo, jerkface."
Milo: (eating wasabi peas mid-chase) "Why do your family reunions always involve trapdoors?"
Seraphina Finch: (conducting raccoons) "Rule one of espionage, Junebug: never trust a clarinetist with good hair."

If you've ever wanted to see a rubber chicken outsmart a supervillain.If you think math homework should come with a side of glitter bombs.If your playlist includes classical, polka, and Yakety Sax (unironically).
