What a great opportunity for Molly. She is
about to play her violin in the most famous concert hall in all
the world. But she’s extremely nervous – so nervous that
she’s afraid to go on stage. Years
earlier, when she was very young, she had shown great courage. At
a dangerous time, she had gone in search of water for her family.
Back then, an officer in an enemy army had saved her from harm. Now, at the concert hall, the officer suddenly reappears. Who is he? Can he help Molly regain her courage? And what important lessons do he and Molly teach each other? The author. Robert Shlasko is a writer and editor whose
work has taken him on assignments from Sweden to Samoa. In addition,
his fiction and nonfiction have appeared in leading children’s
magazines. Although he has not mastered a musical instrument (thus
far!), others in his family play the violin, the cello and the piano.
The author enjoys listening to them all.
