A journey that will change everything.
When the past finds you, will you know what to do?
Twelve-year-old concert pianist Jasmin Lee has spent her life on the road. She’s brilliant, tired, and done with music. When her parents take her to Kohatu House to rest, she expects only a quiet holiday. Instead, a carved wooden arch, a whispering melody, and a secret stone staircase drop her into 1893 where a musically gifted eight-year-old boy named Jacob
plays a tin whistle on dusty streets.
Trapped between two eras, Jasmin must decide whether to insist on rejecting her parents’ plan for her, or sacrificing everything for Jacob. As Jasmin and her friend Leo negotiate the world of 1893, Jasmin discovers she’s stronger than she thought, that music can mend wounds no other language can, and that friendships can defy time.
A tender, adventurous tale of courage and compassion, Music on Kohatu Street asks one quiet, bracing question: what would you be willing to give away so someone else could have a life?
