Hart is the most popular kid in school, and all the kids like him and most teachers let him get away with everything, except for his chorus teacher. When Hart throws a rubber band at his teacher, he gets elected to run the show much to the teachers delight and Harts dismay. Leadership isn't Hart's strong suit, and when he discovers the school is planning to fire his teacher, Hart knows he has to do everything to let this concert not be the last.

What's the last holiday concert, you ask. The Last Holiday Concert is a winter story that really shows and shine it's light. This story is about a boy named Evan Hart, who is a popular boy. Oh boy, only if you knew that at his home, he is just a dork. A complete dork-scientist. In school, all students praise him like he's their god. But when Evan takes charge of the school concert, he messes up a whole ton. His choir teacher (Mr. Meinart) purposely chose the students to start a concert because none of his students actually listened to him. When Evan messes up and says something only a baby would say, nobody considers him as a popular student. Mr. Meinart got smug and asked if Evan needed help. Evan gave up, knowing already what Mr. Meinart's plan was already. But instead, Mr. Meinart understood Evan, and was at risk of losing his job. Two issues going around. A whole concert to save. Who will be saving all three? Read this book, and you will definitely enjoy it! This book did great, except I didn't really enjoy the end because it seemed like there would be a sequel. Enjoy!

This book is very interesting,because it shows how the music teacher leaves the class and let's them make the winter concert.Hart Evans is running this concert.will it go HAYWIRE or AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved this book so so so so much!!!!!!!! It is a great realistic fiction story! It is about a boy who is in choirs who hates it!!!!! It is for both boys and girls because because theres boys and girls in the story. I think the message is ''Never give up''. I hope you like it!!!!!!!
