"I missed that feeling, that incredible sense of being a part of something bigger than myself." So says Annabelle Cabrera, ex-rock star. She had to leave her band, Egg Mountain, in Brooklyn, N. Y. when her parents decided to move to Providence, Rhode Island. She is determined to form a new band at Federal Hill Middle School. Her parents are focused on their own recording studio and have little time left for parenting. Annabelle missed her abuela and how she used to take care of the entire family when they lived with her. She also misses Ronaldo of her last band, and emails him for advice and support. Federal Hill has a serious bully problem and the problem seems to originate with a local rock band. Finding unusual members and utilizing unorthodox methods, Belle succeeds in unanticipated ways.
