The Maestro by Judd Palmer is a very exciting book. The genre of this book is fantasy. The
main setting of this story is the mountains. The main characters are a girl named Hannah, Oscar
the ghost of a rat, the evil Maestro, Ludwig a clarinet player, and Aunt Greta and Uncle Otto
(who Hannah lives with).

A little girl moves to a town where music is banned because of a maestro who stole all the
children. She is caught singing and told she has to leave. She goes to a mountain cave where
the maestro and his orchestra are. She wants to join the orchestra and sing but the maestro says
singing is not required. The rats the Maestro killed and the townspeople come to kill the
Maestro but Hannah sings to stop them and tells to take home their children. She asks the
Maestro if she can stay and be a student and he says yes and then they live happily ever after.

I chose this book because my mom gave it to me because she said I might enjoy it. I also chose

the book because I’d read another book by the same author called The Tooth Fairy that I really
liked. I enjoy fantasy books. I really enjoyed this book.

The Maestro
Author:Judd Palmer
Hannah is yet to give up music. When she gets banished from the town she steals away to the mountain. She searches for a place with music. Then she finds an orchastra made up of all the children that the pied piper had stolen.In the end the pied piper gave back the children. Hannah stayed with the pied piper in the mountains to be taught music. This is a unusual book but very interesting!!!I would definjetly recommend it.
