"Like any young boy, Paolo becomes obsessed with what he can't have - in his case, a violin. Hidden away in his parents' room, it beckons the boy to release the music inside it. The music leads Paolo to a family secret, a story of World War II that changed the course of his parents' lives. But once the truth is told, the family is reunited in a way no one had thought possible. From Michael Morpurgo and Michael Foreman comes a story about sharing the joy of music from one generation to the next and about music's power to transofrm and heal." ~Recbecca Caudill website summary

This was a quick read that still gave a lot of information about a subject I'm very interested in. It is really appropriate for all ages. I enjoyed the book and then shared it with my children. I thought it was a way to introduce the topic without being too graphic about the horrors that occured. I recommend this book to anyone who has ever really wanted to do something, even though your parents tell you no!
this is a story about a boy named Palo. one day Palo ask's all these questions so his mother shows him his dad's violin. this is a very good book. I reccommend this book to anyone who likes music and violins!! -Alex
