<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Shy 10-year-old Cadence grapples with an overprotective father, a mother who left to pursue stardom, and what to do when a recording of her amazing voice leaks before she's ready to share it with the world in this new novel from the author of "President of the Whole Sixth Grade."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A story of family, faith, and following your heart</b> <p/> For ten-year-old Cadence Jolly, birthdays are a constant reminder of all that has changed since her mother skipped town with dreams of becoming a singing star. Cadence inherited that musical soul, she can't deny it, but otherwise she couldn't be more different - she's as shy as can be. <p/> She did make a promise last year that she would try to break out of her shell, just a little. And she prayed that she'd get the courage to do it. As her eleventh birthday draws near, she realizes time is running out. And when a secret recording of her singing leaks and catches the attention of her whole church, she needs to decide what's better: deceiving everyone by pretending it belongs to someone else, or finally stepping into the spotlight. <p/> In a story filled with whimsy and hope, Sherri Winston inspires readers to embrace the voice within.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>[T]his book -- much like Cadence -- absolutely blossoms.</b>--<i><b>Booklist</b></i><br><br><i>The Sweetest Sound</i> is a <b>gorgeous song of a book</b> - a story about faith, confidence, finding your voice, and singing out loud to lift up the people around you.
