The Magnificent Piano Recital

32 pp. | Orca | February, 2001 | Trade ISBN 1-55143-180-7 $$15.95
(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Laura Fernandez & Rick Jacobson. Into a northern mill town in the 1940s come Arabella and her glamorous mother, a piano teacher. As outsiders, they must prove their merit to a rigid classroom teacher, reluctant parents, and would-be young pianists--a mission finally accomplished when Arabella concludes the first recital with impressive musicianship. Though the plot is predictable, the time and place are effectively realized in the color-saturated, sometimes stiff illustrations.
