Beautiful City of the Dead by Leander Watts - ADVISABLE

Watts, Leander Beautiful City of the Dead, 254 p. Houghton Mifflin

MS, HS - ADVISABLE

On her first day at a new school, Zee is befriended by Relly - a young man with a rock band that needs a bass player and holds a very large secret. Zee happens to play the bass quite wickedly, plus she has a head for lyrics and is the catalyst the boys need to propel them towards actual gigs. Unfortunately, evil is willing to use Relly to get their hands on Zee - because they need her also. 

A great title and a catchy front cover will draw teens in, and they will not be disappointed by the contents.
