People are still talking about how Amelia Jones unleashed ghosts all over school. She didn’t know she could compose music. Their isn’t another student at Mystwick who can and there hasn’t been one in twenty years. Though she is excited to meet her composing teacher, Amelia is still reluctant to try and compose. She does not need a repeat of her last musical blunder.
Speaking of ghosts, the REAL Amelia “Mia” Jones arrives at the school ready to take her spot as the real Amelia Jones. She constantly teases and mocks Amelia, kicks her out of her room she shares with Darby, and also makes Amelia question her friendship with Darby. That is just one thing Amelia has to worry and stress over. She receives not one, but two strangely obscure invitations. One is to join some other students as a composer in a magically musical battle of the bands. Ummm… Where do I buy tickets? The second is to join the Midnight Orchestra. This orchestra is so elusive that most people believe it to be a myth.
Things go south, fast, in every aspect of her life and Amelia is questioning everything about who she is and why she is even at Mystwick. She is also learning things about her past that have her stumbling around school and her friends wondering who she can trust and let it.

I love this book so much!! This is everything I want in a middle grade and everything I hope to write in my own MG novels-- great voice, tons of heart, lots of tension, excitement, friend and family drama, and twists I didn't see coming. I need more Mystwick books stat!
