With the help of a mysterious horseman, Molly overcomes obstacles on the road to success as a violinist.  In the process, both she and the horseman learn -- and teach -- valuable lessons on the nature of courage and believing in yourself.  “The author knows how to touch the heart of a child,” says The California Music Teacher magazine, adding, “for 7-12 (or even a precocious six-year-old) ... a book of sheer delight ... a wealth of gold between the lines.”

Childhood Education magazine says, “A wonderful story to introduce the concept of gender stereotypes.” “Both my daughters lived it. I loved it. It teaches kids why they should never, ever give up,” says the Balancing Act on Lifetime Television. “Not just for violinists ... a nice addition to any home,” writes violinandbooks.  Many more reviews and more besides can be found on the book’s website: www.janeandstreet.com.
