The Awesomely Awful Melodies of Lydia Goldblatt and Julie Graham-Chang. Fresh off their epic summer road trip, Julie and Lydia are back and ready to seventh grade by storm. Well, at least Lydia is: She wants to start a band, and she's convinced Julie to join her. The Macrame Owls are joined by Roland (expert at the hardingfele) and Jane (expert at drama). None of them, unfortunately, are experts at rocking out. Before they know it they've got their first gig. A 6-year-old's birthday party that turns into an epic disaster. What they need is more practice.
