Best friends Crissy and Hailey are inseparable. Hailey has always had a lot of interests, and she's good at basically everything she tries. When Crissy, an aspiring singer, talks Hailey into joining her choir so that they can spend more time together, Crissy has no idea that Hailey will be so good. But that skill becomes a problem when they find themselves facing off in an audition for the role of a lifetime: a starring soloist piece in a reputable local opera production of The Marriage of Figaro. Hailey is a natural but has less experience, and claws come out when it becomes clear that Crissy is willing to do anything to get the role, even if it means sacrificing their friendship. This is a terrific new addition to the Orca Limelights series for readers interested in the performance arts. A fascinating and well-researched peek into the glamorous world of opera, this offers up natural, funny, and quick-witted dialogue and keeps the stakes as high as the notes of a belting soprano.

Hailey McEwan has many interests—soccer, field hockey, animation. She'd probably never have started singing if her best friend, Crissy, hadn't persuaded her to take singing lessons and join her choir. No one had any idea that Hailey would be such a natural, least of all Hailey herself. A shared love of music—from pop to opera—has been a big part of the girls' friendship, but when the two face off in a competition for a role in a production of The Marriage of Figaro, their closeness turns into a bitter rivalry. Hailey will have to make a tough decision. Is opera as important to her as it is to Crissy? And is landing a role worth losing her best friend?
