Elody Elizabeth has had a crush for a hundred years ... okay, maybe more like a hundred weeks. The problem is, she is shy-very shy. So, being able to talk to her crush seems impossible. If only talking to her crush was as easy as hanging out with Dean, her best friend and next-door neighbor. But that''s not the only problem. Elody is an incredible pianist and wants to attend a summer music academy; the thing is, she has to create a recorded audition, and after what happened the last time she performed, she is terrified. Can she overcome her stage fright to have a chance at getting into the summer music academy? And what happens when an embarrassing move brings her face to face with the king of her crush castle?

I''m Still Elody Elizabeth is a story about friendship, family, and first crushes, but most of all, it is a story about learning to love ourselves and all the unique things that make us exactly who we are.
