YA
A prickly friendship with a blind jazz musician helps Sky, a talented teenage pianist, mend a rift with his widowed father, speak up when a classmate is harassed by a teacher, and find his own musical voice. The evenly paced novel believably captures the Bohemian spirit of New York's jazz world in the late 1950s.
