Description: "As an orphan at Stork's Nest Children's home, Darius Dorian has had a pretty tough life. But everything changes when he's sent on a school project to the studio of Archibald Archinola, the violin-maker. There Darius makes a remarkable discovery. In a glass cabinet, shining with mysterious blue light, lies a strange old fiddle. It turns out that, in the right hands, Pizzicato has the miraculous power to heal. You might think that such a violin can only do good, but when Dr. Ulrich Needham and his ambitious mother hear about the wonderful instrument, the powers of evil are unleashed in full force. Darius needs all his courage, plus a little help from his friends Little Queenie and Big Ben, to get through the greatest adventure of his life."--P. [4] of cover.
