Wonderful illustrations. * Wells Journal * The storytelling is superb . . . it makes a good read for those who are short of time but want a quality read. I read it on the daily commute * The Citizen * Moving tale of secrets and survival bound together by the power of music. * The Bookseller Children's Buyer's Guide * Like so many of his books, the author packs a huge amount of emotion into a relatively short story; tender and touching yet woven through with the reality and horror of those times. Michael Foreman's pencil drawings subtly convey the emotions and hit home for the reader. A compelling and haunting tale. * Parents in Touch *
