Reviews

"Readers will relate to Shai and Emmies friendship and the musical aspects of this book, namely the need to practice in order to improve. Also worthy of note is the lesson Shai and Emmie learn about the different needs of wild animals versus pets....Another installment that will hook young readers and keep them coming back for more." -- School Library Journal * June 2018 *
