A journey for music lovers and everyone else who loves a good read. This mix of paranormal fantasy and science fiction will keep any young reader in suspense. The references to Sherlock Holmes are also very entertaining. Luthier’s Apprentice is a Young Adult story with enough twists to keep even the struggling reader enthralled.Our main protagonist, Emma, is a talented musician whose future musical success appears to be set. She is devastated to learn that along with other violinist her own teacher, Monsieur Dupriez, has disappeared. On top of this, she seems to be developing psychic powers – how strange! But this doesn’t stop her; she is determined to discover what has happened to her teacher and what strange powers the violins possess. She enlists the help of her two friends, Annika and Corey, and the adventure begins.I thought Emma was a good role model for young readers. She is a strong individual who acts clearly and responsibly. This book deals with teen friendships, dreams of the future and ambitions, as well as a touch of romance, really well. Corey is also a great role model for young male readers.This book also gave me a very interesting insight into the music world which I know little about but I found fascinating all the same.This fast paced and quick moving story will keep all young readers glued to its pages. I really liked the cover and found that it was well suited to the story. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading a good story.
