Crooked kind of perfect by Linda Urban

Ten-year-old Zoe Elias dreams of playing a baby grand piano at Carnegie Hall. But when Dad ventures to the music store and ends up with a wheezy organ instead of a piano, Zoe's dreams hit a sour note. Zoe is an amazing character. Her dreams are crushed, and patched together and handed to her. A crooked kind of perfect story.
