DarqStarz Rising — Allyson Black

Meet Scarlett Ravencraft and Crimson Hawthorne: two girls with a Darq take on life. According to them, Darq is a way of looking at the world and making sense of it from the inside out.

Join Scarlett and Crimson as they brave the halls of V. Price Memorial Middle School, dodging the Leetz (a group of snobby, popular, know-it-all girls) and recruiting the cool new, British exchange student, Pepper White, to join their nameless band. With a Battle of the Bands contest at stake -- the top ten bands will compete on Halloween night -- the girls have their work cut out for them. But with their fresh, Darq take on life, these starz are sure to rise to the top, no matter what happens!
