Description

When Clayton Byrd’s world is upended by a sudden move and a new school, he finds an unexpected refuge in the underground—where music, community, and creativity thrive beyond the rules of everyday life. As he navigates friendships, family pressures, and the search for belonging, Clayton discovers how art can become both a language and a lifeline. Blending humor and heart, this coming-of-age story explores identity, resilience, and the power of self-expression in the face of change. Rita Williams-Garcia’s vivid, character-driven style brings the neighborhood’s rhythms to life, making Clayton’s journey feel immediate, hopeful, and deeply human.
