Fiona and the Forgotten Piano

De: Kate DeMaio

Narrado por: Jillian Ryan

Eleven-year-old Fiona isn’t allowed in the Fermata woods. And though its unique trees are fascinating, Fiona has no problem following her mother’s rules. That is until the trees begin to sing.

Suddenly, it feels as though long forgotten memories are being unlocked in Fiona’s mind. As she nears the woods edge, the trees fall silent, so silent even the leaves stop rustling. Fiona will finally break the rules and venture into the woods. She’ll soon find herself traveling through portals to undiscovered worlds. And she’ll have to trust her instincts and her quirky new friends to bring back the music or she may get lost within its notes.

Whimsical, Musical, and Absolutely Delightful

What an absolute delight! This book puts a fresh, modern musical spin on the Alice in Wonderland concept, following Fiona as she hops through a series of imaginative realms built around musical concepts. Each world feels distinct and cleverly constructed, and the side characters are so memorable. Artie the Baker, Nori, and the computer program character all stole the show for me.

The narration is superb and really brings the story to life, but I can easily see this being a wonderful one for parents to read aloud to their kids too.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for a creative, whimsical listen, especially if you love music, worldbuilding, and characters with real personality. And as a bonus: if you're trying to get your kid excited about piano, this one might just do the trick!
