Imagine sharing your house with the
hot British boy band, Abbey Road!!! This is NOT a dream
come true for twelve-year-old Lark. She is homesick for
the quiet life in Tennessee. When her
parents divorced, she and her mom moved to Los Angles so
Mom could start her own record
label. Now the British invasion changes everything. All is
a whirlwind of meetings, photo ops
and rehearsals. The three boys may be great musicians, but
they act their age being goofy,
raucous and eating everything in sight. Mom, totally
absorbed by the boys, ignores her needs.
Lark, truly talented as a musician and singer song writer,
is extremely shy. Fortunately, Lark
has her best friend Mimi and the support of Teddy Reese
who is helping her overcome her stage
fright. Things turn ugly when Lark discovers that one of
the Brits has stolen her song! Will Lark
take a stand for her own work? Will Lark’s mother finally
understand her?
