Nannerl Mozart wishes she could be remembered forever – not as the reknowned pianist she currently is, but as a composer, whose works would last thorught he ages. But as a girl in 1700’s Europe, under the control of her father, and definitely not a boy, playing is all she is allowed. She and her younger brother Wolfgang have a secret kingdom they have created, the Kingdom of Back. But one day a fairy Prince from the kingdom appears and offers to grant Nannerl the wish of her heart if she will only help him with some trifling tasks. Nannerl may win her wish, but when she understands the cost, it may be too late.
Lu tries to mix history with fantasy, but the book tries too hard to be true to the history – it covers too many years and gets bogged down in the history and not nearly enough magic.
