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 ordinary children are brought together by extraordinary events. . .
Giuseppe is an orphaned street musician from Italy, who was sold by his uncle to work as a slave for an evil padrone in the U.S. But when a mysterious green violin enters his life he begins to imagine a life of freedom.
Hannah is a soft-hearted, strong-willed girl from the tenements, who supports her family as a hotel maid when tragedy strikes and her father can no longer work. She learns about a hidden treasure, which she knows will save her family -- if she can find it.
