I read this book in one day - I started it this morning and just finished it. :) Several students at school had read it and really enjoyed it ... so I was anxious to read it. I REALLY enjoyed it. I instantly connected with the main character, Zoe.
from Barnes and Noble:
Ten-year-old Zoe Elias has perfect piano dreams. She can practically feel the keys under her flying fingers; she can hear the audience's applause. All she needs is a baby grand so she can start her lessons, and then she'll be well on her way to Carnegie Hall.
But when Dad ventures to the music store and ends up with a wheezy organ instead of a piano, Zoe's dreams hit a sour note. Learning the organ versions of old TV theme songs just isn't the same as mastering Beethoven on the piano. And the organ isn't the only part of Zoe's life that's off-kilter, what with Mom constantly at work, Dad afraid to leave the house, and that odd boy, Wheeler Diggs, following her home from school every day.
Yet when Zoe enters the annual Perform-O-Rama organ competition, she finds that life is full of surprises--and that perfection may be even better when it's just a little off center.
Happy reading! If you read A Crooked Kind of Perfect, comment on this post and let me know how you liked it. :)

I listened to the audio book, and I really liked it. Unlike a lot of audio books, the narrator had a very nice voice. I listened to it in 2 days. I would definitely recommend this book or the audio book.
