Second Fiddle Audiobook

" One Sentence Review: A historical novel (yes, the 90s are historical now) Parry cleverly balances the spy genre with a truly heartfelt tale of what it means to be an army brat when all you want is for things to stay the same. "

" Loved the sense of adventure and place in this book. Had issues with the lying, but the author resolved those by the end. "

" I liked this book a lot, but it almost seems like two different stories. I really liked the setup--the army officer who the girls find and pull out of the river. But I wish that plot was more of the focus throughout the book. Instead that's kind of the frame around the main action about the girls and their music and their friendship. I definitely like this part of the book too, but after such an interesting setup, I was slightly let down by the middle. A good read, though. "

" I really like the feel of this book. Historical fiction (during my lifetime - isn't that a weird feeling), adventure, European setting, military families, music, friendships that don't bicker, families that care... and writing that helps put you into it all. "

" I really liked this. There isn't a lot of good historical fiction in this time period. I liked all the different layers--the music competition, the problem with the soldier, the personal growth, the friendships...just an all around good novel. "

" Historical fiction. A girl is leaving Berlin with her family as her father's new military assignment there ends. Walking along the river with her friends, they happen to see a man roughed up and hiding. "

" I loved this book, it's clever and entertaining. "

" Adventurous story about three girls from American military families that are in Germany. The girls are in a string trio. Jody is an aspiring composer. "

" I completely enjoyed this story about the friendship of 3 girls and music and Berlin and Paris at a time of great upheaval in Berlin. I want her to come to my library. Maybe I'll ask her. "
