Based on the true story of Luigi Tarisio, who traveled through the towns and villages of Italy in the 1880s searching for lost Stradivarius violins.
So what can be said for Maureen Brett Hooper's pleasant, but largely unremarkable story? Three remarks, actually: 1. We learn a little about violins in general and Stradivarius in particular. 2. It could help kids realize how different their lives are compared to children their own ages in other times and places. 3. It models patience in both action and conversation.
Not a classic, but not bad, not bad at all. 1991. Available for check out from the Mason County Christian School Library/Weekly Reader Collection
