The winning edge
$8.50
Three friends enter a talent quest with their band, the 3 Jays. Their main rival is a band called the Swan Queens. One Swan Queens band member wants to win so badly that she tries to sabotage the 3 Jays’ performance, but other band members come to the rescue. In the end, all is forgiven. This story features the same characters as Rock it! in Reading Road 1 but stands alone as an independent story.
