This book probably deserves way more than 5 stars because it was so good! If you read the Invention of Hugo Cabret or saw the movie - you would absolutely love this book. It follows the lives of three kids: Hannah, Giuseppe, and Frederick, who eventually meet each other and go on an amazing adventure. The backgrounds of these characters really interested me, and all of their motives and ideals really pushed the plot forward. The lessons that all of these characters learned by the end were really valuable, and the plot was sooo good! I totally recommend this book to everyone! Hope you love this book as much as I did! ▼・ᴥ・▼ Lotte Parker

Three kids, one extraordinary turn of events... Guiseppe, an orphaned street musician working as a slave with a dream of returning to Italy. Hannah, a sensetive but strong hotel maid with a Father who has an infected leg. And Frederick, an apprentice clockmaker with a big secret. Frederick's project, a maid's treasure, and a stunning green violin bring the three together in a dangerous yet thrilling journey.
