Azar on Fire

Fourteen-year-old Azar Rossis first year of high school has mostly been silent, and intentionally so. After a bad case of colic as a baby, Azars vocal folds are shredded - full of nodules that give her a rasp the envy of a chain-smoking bullfrog. Her classmates might just think shes quiet, but Azar is saving her voice for when it really counts and talking to her classmates is not medically advisable or even high on her list. When she hears about a local Battle of the Bands contest, its something she cant resist. Azar loves music, loves songwriting, but with her vocal folds the way they are, there's no way she can sing her songs on stage. Then she hears lacrosse hottie, Ebenezer Lloyd Hollins the Fifth, aka Eben, singing from the locker room. Shes transfixed. He's just the person she needs. His voice plus her lyrics = Battle of the Bands magic. But getting a band together means Azar has a lot of talking to do and new friends to make. For the chance to stand on stage with Eben it might all just be worth it. See more
