This teen novel in verse does a wonderful job showing the impact that music can have socially and politically. This historical novel is set in 1989 in East Germany and is one girl's call to action as she sees how corrupt the government is becoming. The stasi are watching everywhere so she is used to keeping her head down, but as peaceful protestors continue to get arrested, something in her stirs. When she meets a young man at her piano lessons she opens up her heart and her aspirations, she should be able to dream and hope, but maybe her music will help her and her country find a way. Moving and wonderfully written in verse!
