The Last Holiday Concert

By: Andrew Clements

Narrated by: Fred Berman

For Hart Evans, being the most popular fifth grader has its advantages: kids look up to him and teachers let him get away with everything. But during one choir practice, Hart zones out too far, accidentally flinging a rubber band at his teacher. Mr. Meinert realizes that if Hart is ever going to discover his musical potential, his punishment must march to a different drummer. And then, as Mr. Meinert is about to leave school because there is no funding left for his job, he orchestrates a class vote to appoint Hart as the new interim choir director. Now it's Hart's job to ready the class for the annual Holiday concert, and ultimately to convince the board why his teacher should stay in school.©2004 Andrew Clements; (P)2004 Random House, Inc.

The lesson of the rubber band

We liked the honesty of the story and the twists and turns. We liked that it was from the perspective of the kids.

Awesome Time

This is one of my son's favorite books! I bought him the audiobook to go along with it and he absolutely loved it. The narrator does a supreme job in expressing the emotions felt in Andrew Clement's words!

Nice book!!

I had so much fun! It is a great book. It feels real! It is like you are there in the seen!

Entertained whole family

This story kept all 4 of my children (ages 6, 9, 12, and 14) engaged and entertained. I appreciated that it provides both the children’s perspective and the adults’ perspectives. My sons enjoyed the description of conflict and classroom politics. Even my husband felt like he could relate to the middle schoolers’ emotions. Fun family holiday story!
