In "Amplified" by Tara Kelly, music is more than a passion for the protagonist, a young girl named Jasmine. Struggling to fit in at her new school, Jasmine finds solace and self-expression through her love of music. She discovers a close-knit group of musicians who share her dreams and ambitions. As they collaborate to create something beautiful, Jasmine learns about friendship, love, and the challenges of pursuing one’s dreams. However, navigating the complexities of relationships and her personal identity proves difficult, leading Jasmine to confront her fears and realize the power of her voice in a world that often tries to silence it.
