The Milk Crate Club

What happens when you invite five kids who have never met to make music at your house? Hannabelle was about to find out.

Hannabelle LOVED music. And she knew a few kids who loved music, too. Roxy, Waverley, Octavia, Stokely, and Bastien were as different as different could be. With unique musical interests and specialties, they all knew Hannabelle in different ways. But Hannabelle felt a connection. How fun would it be to get them together in a sort of music-lovers club? (So...why not call it the Music Lovers Club? You'll need to read on to find out!). At the first club meeting, six excited but uncertain kids gathered in Hannabelle's garage, all strangers but for their one shared friend. And when an awkward silence filled the air, her plan seemed doomed. That is, until Waverly spotted the paint brushes... and something magical happened. As the music grew and grew, then faded gently away, the kids were left in the silence rendered only by a great musical experience, and firmly united in their newfound friendship.

The Milk Crate Club is the first book in the Milk Crate Club series and the prequel to Hannabelle's Butterflies. The series follows six children as they explore, discover, create, learn, and share their musical adventures, challenges, and joys.
