The Victoria in My Head by Janelle Milanes
3.0
Victoria is an amazing, self-confident, charismatic rock star...in her mind, anyway. In real life, she's a bit shy, a bit self-conscious, maybe doesn't have the best experiences at school.
And then she has the chance to join a band. And she decides to take that chance...but keeps it a secret from her parents. Suddenly she's trying to live the life she's always pictured in her mind, but she's still got a problem, because the lies keep piling up.
I loved Victoria and her journey of self-discovery. Her experience in becoming a musician is fun to watch, and she has some great friendships in the book as well. This is definitely a book I would want on my library shelves, and would hand to kids who love music, love stories, and books about figuring out who you really are.
