The Mozart Girl {Review}

Nannerl Mozart, a 12 year old musician, is living her dream.  Traveling throughout Europe, meeting kings and queens, she and her brother Wolfgang share a special bond as the famous Mozart siblings.  But Nannerl has a secret, one that she hasn't even shared with Wolfgang.  She longs to be a composer.

Working in secret, Nannerl begins her composition while on tour with the family.  In her spare time, she sneaks away to write music and learn the violin.  But between Papa's ideas about women and music, and Wolfi's stealing the spotlight, will Nannerl be able to rise up and make a name of her own?

Loosely based on history, The Mozart Girl gives an inside glimpse into the story of a very famous and talented family.  At the end of the book, the author includes a brief explanation of which "facts" were real and which were fictitious.  While Nannerl was the talented older sister of Wolfgang Mozart, much of this story is fiction.  And while I did enjoy the book, the tone was quite modern and a bit out of character.  This is a book that I would gladly put in my daughter's hands, but with a clear understanding that this story is far from accurate.

Our Fifth Grade Reading List

Fifth grade can be tricky.  Reading abilities are all over the place, themes are becoming more complicated, and vocabulary takes a leap in preparation for middle school.  In developing this reading list, I tried to keep the storylines interesting to hold the child's interest, while also challenging their way of thinking.  And we do love historical fiction in our home as you'll see reflected in these books:

My Side of the Mountain
Little Women
Peter Pan
Bridge to Terabithia
Anne of Green Gables
Moby Dick
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe
Where the Red Fern Grows
City of Ember
Bud, Not Buddy
Shiloh
Mr. Lemoncello's Library
Call of the Wild
Rascal
Robin Hood
The Miraculous Journey of Edward Toulaine
The War that Saved My Life
The Sign of the Beaver
Wizard of Oz

What are your favorite books for this age?
