Product Description
For Hart Evans, being the most popular kid in sixth grade has its advantages. Kids look up to him, and all the teachers let him get away with anything -- all the teachers except the chorus director, Mr. Meinert. When Hart's errant rubber band hits Mr. Meinert on the neck during chorus practice, it's the last straw for the chorus director, who's just learned he's about to lose his job due to budget cuts. So he tells the class they can produce the big holiday concert on their own. Or not. It's all up to them. And who gets elected to run the show? The popular Mr. Hart Evans.Hart soon discovers there's a big difference between popularity and leadership, and to his surprise, discovers something else as well -- it's really important to him that this be the best holiday concert ever, and even more important, that it not be the last.

 Book Review by Erin, 2008-07-21
Hart gets in trouble a lot. He is a moving kid. His parents are divorced. The one who loves him the most still loves him at the end.
I think that if you love band, this book will be good for you. Hart has surprises waiting for you. So remember to read The Last Holiday Concert by Andrew Clements.

 Another great one!, 2008-01-27
I'm an adult, but I still love Andrew Clements' engaging writing style and creative storytelling. One thing I appreciate about Clements' writing is that it's continually unpredictable - I was sure I knew which direction this particular story was going, but in the end, I was surprised! Without giving away the plotline, I thought the story was very realistic. Definitely read the author's note at the end, too!

This book was great. Hart Evens shot a ruber band smack on his chorus teacher. His teacher gets angry and decides to relax instead. So Hart Evens has to be the chorus director of the holiday concert. Hart's friends get mad at him because he can not fit everyone's ideas into the concert. They took a vote to decide what ideas to fit into the concert and what ideas to leave out. In the end, the children involved with the concert learned how to cooperate with each other.

The last Holiday Concert
The title of the book I read was The Last Holiday Concert the author is Andrew Clements. This book takes place in a music room and at his school.
Evens, Hart, Evens
Evens, Hart, Evens have you heard that name before, well Hart Evens is the most popular kid in his grade, and in Harts music class he has done something he is going to regret. He also has been voted to be the new music teacher. So Hart is going to have to do a concert all by him self. But he has some friends on his side.
Liked or disliked
I liked this book because it surprised me every time I flipped the page. For example when Hart had one problem there went another problem. So Hart had to get everybody in shape and get started because he only had 2 ½ weeks left. I really liked the author words, hears some examples. Hart is kind of a bully but not much. He is very popular. He is in the 6th grade and a risk taker by flicking a rubber band at his teacher.
Rubber Band attack
Hart is in the 6th grade. He is very cool, he has lots of friends. He got to be music teacher because, he flung a rudder band at his teacher and the teacher got fed up with him and the class. So he quit and let them figure it out for them selfs. So the class voted hart teacher for now.
The boom
Do you want to hear more.... READ THE BOOK!

A great Christmas story , 2007-01-04
I recomend The Last Holiday Concert by Andrew Clements because it is a very interesting book. It is not just a book for music lovers. It is also for people that like the thought of kids taking charge and the teacher who's name is Mr.Meinert lay back and relax. You will see what happens when a popular kid get in trouble and the teacher goes crazy. Hart Evens the popular guy at school starts running the choir and it is disastrous. But can a little Winterhope and peace guide him to brilliance? The genre is Fiction and I think that you will really like it. I enjoied it very much I thought that it was a fantastic book.
