| -- Learning to fail can be the hardest lesson of all --
A 2004-05 Texas TAYSHAS book From the moment she picked up her first violin at three years old, Tess hasn't been like other kids. A prodigy, her life is that of a virtuoso-to-be: constant training, special schools, and a big debut before an audience of thousands. But at sixteen Tess throws it all away and departs the glamour of New York to join her father in Montana and lead a normal life--whatever that is. Tess has hardly arrived when she is drawn into a mystery: a hunt for the lost homestead of a pioneer who played violin himself. Maybe, though uncovering his story, Tess can find the inspiration to pick up her violin again. ______________ ______________ "For anyone fascinated by the
power of music and its effects on individual(s)" "Tess's passion and struggle for
her music sing melody, harmony, and detail." |
