Summary

A battle is looming at Camelot Middle School-a battle of the bands, that is! Artie, Wayne, and Percy enter the talent show seeking fame and fortune. But only one of them plays an instrument: Percy. And he plays the saxophone. Their only hope of winning is finding the long-lost "Singing Sword," the fabled instrument of awesome power.

But how can Artie find time to rock when he's been assigned a new lab partner, Melody Claymore? Melody is a klutz and a goof, and harbors a not-so-secret crush on Artie. Is Melody his worst nightmare or possibly the answer to his prayers?

Booklist Review

In the best episode yet in Cammuso's Knights of the Lunch Table series, our guy Artie takes up his dad's old guitar, forms a rock band, and in spite of the hazards of school bullies, a nasty principal, and having to solve a mystery to find the Singing Sword triumphs over some personal issues as well as musical challenges. As ever, science teacher Mr. Merlyn and the crusty school custodian offer advice without coming across as know-it-all adults. Artie enhances his band's prospects by accepting a singer in spite of her apparent romantic interest in him, and he bests the bullies in a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors.--Goldsmith, Francisca Copyright 2010 Booklist
