Music that does magic / The book with a soundtrack

Riley Taylor longs for something exciting, anywhere, anything but his uneventful life at home. To his surprise, he gets exactly that when he stumbles upon someone using magic, or more accurately, playing it on a piano. Riley's life takes a dramatic turn when he's invited to study at a school for music where he too can learn to play magic with his electric guitar. But before he can adjust to his new life, Riley and his friends are whisked away across Canada where they will face discorded monsters, play magic on their instruments, and hopefully, find the lost songs they seek.

The Song of Hidden Stars features an eleven song sountrack, linked to with QR codes printed throughout the book so that readers can hear the music characters play.


Each track is mixed with the locational audio of the scene in which it takes place. The soundtrack will release with the book on all streaming platforms on September 24th.
