(3) 4-6 Prodigious eleven-year-old composer Daphna attends the titular school founded by Ignatious Blatt, mogul of the quirky technology that abounds in the book's unspecified future setting. After Daphna's mother disappears, Daphna and her friends use their widely varied talents in an investigation that reveals secrets about Daphna's past--and Blatt's. Readers willing to suspend their disbelief should enjoy the book's humor and mystery.
