Title: I loved this book
Review: I thought this book for middle grade readers was a gem. It deals with strong emotions in a totally unsentimental manner. The main character Gus is so real I could smell him - worrying about the bully at school who calls him "pickleface," hiding under his blanket to mourn his father, learning to juggle to please his sister, and - through his oboe and his teacher - discovering for himself the healing power of music.
