*Silent Scream!*

Kass Kennedy is nobody’s idol. She does forget the lyrics. She’s not a gleek. The x factor? Not her! Read her lips: She has the right to remain silent.

Just try telling that to her dad.

Because he’s totally lost it this time, demanding Kass audition for a TV talent show. Which would be slightly less than death-by-embarrassment if Kass could (duh!) actually sing. And if even the smallest part of her craved the spotlight. Stardom is her dad’s dream, not hers. But he’s so fragile, she’s afraid he just might crack if she doesn’t go through with his latest, craziest plan.

Not helping: Her hopelessly MIA mom. The budding criminal mastermind also known as her kid brother. And amateur shrink Izzy and used-to-be-sweet Char, who’ve gone all frenemies over a boy in brown boots. (Don’t ask.)

It’s only rock n’ roll? If only! Inside, Kass is screaming, but no one is listening. How loud does a girl have to shout to be heard?
