Carol

Carol

The first thing to go was Big Ben. No chime at noon, just silence where the bells should be. Then the news got weird: her favorite band, Gaball Screen, had lost it, all of it, overnight. And when her father's cello started sounding wrong, cracking apart note by note, Carol finally understood that something was stealing the sound, and nobody else seemed to notice. A voice kept calling her name. Blurry shapes drifted at the edge of her vision. Then one afternoon she dropped an old Gaball Screen record onto the player, the room flooded with light, and the screen swallowed her whole. She landed in Lapas Lapas, a strange world where music is the thing worth fighting for. Three guys are waiting there: Clark, Tico, Flash. They fight the monsters, she fights alongside them, and together they try to push the theft back before Earth goes completely mute. But if the monsters keep pulling music out of her world one stolen note at a time, what will be left to come home to?
