For fans of the Legendary Alston Boys an uproarious contemporary adventure story with a dash
of fantasy about two friends who start a non-singing duo go viral and become unlikely
international rock stars bringing mindfulness to the middle school masses. At Visalia Middle
School nothing exciting ever happens. For Jason and Sean eating candy at recess and dreaming
of a future filled with fame and fortune is usually the highlight of their day. But when Sean
stumbles across a video of a composer’s deliberately silent performance piece the boys come up
with an idea for a musical act that performs non-songs. And when a video of their first concert
goes viral the duo suddenly finds their dreams of stardom coming true—despite their lack of
any musical talent. Soon they’re off on a globe-trotting adventure where with the help of a
cockatiel translator and an eleven-year-old talent agent they unintentionally popularize the
concept of quiet mindfulness and discover that fame can be fickle but friendship is forever.
