Play to the Angel By: Maurine F. Dahlberg

I am only about 100 pages into the book Play to the Angel and so far it has been a really great book! The main character in this novel is Greta. This book takes place around the time when the Nazis are starting to invade Germany. Greta and her mother, Mutti, live in Austria. Greta used to have an older brother named Kurt. He had died due to a disease that he had. Kurt was a musical prodigy, and Mutti used to praise him. He would also give Greta piano lessons in his free time. Greta has a talent with playing the piano but Mutti does not seem to pay attention. Whenever Greta plays the piano at her apartment, Mutti always tells her to stop. Greta wanted to take lessons since her brother had died. Soon Greta starts to take lessons from Herr Hummel. He treats her very well and prepares her for a piano recital in March. Greta is nervous for the recital, and she doesn't believe in herself either. Herr Hummel is a very nice guy who doesn't talk about his past very much. He came to Austria with only a suitcase with him. I am very excited to read the rest of this book to find out more about Herr Hummel's past, and how the recital goes for Greta! Read Play to the Angel to find out what happens too!

I rate this book a 10/10 so far
