Signal to Noise by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

This book started off a little slowly for me, but I was caught up in it by the end. I liked that the main character, Meche, was kind of a jerk. Everyone was flawed, but that didn't mean you hated them (except maybe Constantino and the literature teacher) - they made sense in their contexts. I also enjoyed that the magic was discovered by these regular kids. There was no "destiny" or special connection to the power, just a passion for music. Meche did have a talent for magic, but no more than she did for computer programming. The music embedded in the story was also a lot of fun.
