Anywhere, But Here — Jen Calonita

Part 1 of 4.

Whitney Connolly is a high school sophomore living in a house turned upside down. After her father abandoned his five children just months after their mother's death, her oldest brother dropped out of medical school to try and keep the family together.

As if that weren't enough, Whitney's medication gives her musical hallucinations that disconnect her from reality and score the drama with her siblings and the high school mean girls to pop music. Meanwhile, sister Lexi parties too hard, brother Jason can't deal, and the youngest Connolly, Sam, is just trying to survive middle school.

As long as they can stick together, there's a chance they can track down their dad and bring him home. Unfortunately, the family is on the verge of breaking up and one wrong note could disband them before they find him.
