You certainly know Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was a talented young musician and prodigy in the 18th century. But did you know that he had a sister, Maria Anna "Nannerl" Mozart, who was just as gifted as him but couldn't become as socially accepted as her little brother? Marie Lu tells a fantasy story of Nannerl Mozart, who longed to be remembered as her own person — and not just Wolfgang Mozart's older sister. But she first has to bypass the constraints of being a woman in her country, which means that she will only be able to perform when she is old enough to become married. As the years go by, Nannerl realizes that she may never be able to make her impact on the world. She may forever be overshadowed by her younger brother. But just when all hope feels lost, a figure emerges from a realm different from Earth… offering to grant her her deepest wish. I recommend this book because it blends a mixture of reality with fiction. Readers get to sympathize with Nannerl and can feel her struggles through the page. Additionally, Marie Lu heightens the mystery of the plot when she introduces the mysterious figure I mentioned above. Readers will have a fun and thrilling time reading about plot twists!
