When best friend Wendy Choy gets an invitation to compete in a piano competition in Oxford, England, Gilda Joyce manages to secure a position as Wendy's page turner.

"This is the second Gilda Joyce book I have read. The main character has some interesting personality quirks that you either love or find annoying. The author has done a good job developing her character. I can see this book made into a movie. It seems like lately several children's books have been taken from print to the big screen and this is one that would do well. In this story, Gilda gets herself invited to go with her friend, Wendy to a piano competition. When they arrive, Wendy has some experiences that make her feel like someone is trying to take control of her. She keeps hearing a haunting melody, the number 9 keeps coming up in various ways and she is drawn outside one night in a sleep-walking type of experience. With Gilda's help they discover a grave of Charles Drummond. She discovers that he too was a gifted pianist and was in the same competition a few years earlier. Through some investigating, they discover some music written by this young boy and Wendy plays it at the competition. The story was exciting and a little spooky at times. Gilda has her first crush and kiss and there are some other story lines that make it interesting and a fun read."

    " I like the Gilda Joyce series, a fun, funky detective story that girls should love. Not too meaty for an adult reader, but a fun little lighthearted diversion. "

    " Gilda Joyce's friend, Wendy Choy is entered in a piano competition in England. Of course, Gilda sees this as a chance to solve a good mystery. Weeks before the competition, Wendy is haunted and possessed by a demanding spirit who wants his music to be heard. This book is very shocking and you won't believe what happens. This is the 3rd book in the gilda joyce series. "

    " I really enjoyed this Gilda Joyce book the most of any of the ones I've read so far! Maybe it's because it's set in England but I think mostly it's because it contains elements that I love. Gilda is smart and sassy and very eccentric for a 14 year-old. In this book her best friend Wendy Chou, based on her piano skills, is invited to Oxford to compete in an international contest for young virtuosos. Realizing that England is known for its ghosts and paranormal activities, Gilda immediately invents a way to accompany Wendy, her music tutor, and the two other students invited to compete, by going along as "page turner" and Wendy's manager. Once in Oxford, mysterious spooky things began to happen: Gilda sees a ghost and Wendy is haunted by music that she has never heard before. The number "9" keeps surfacing. There are some amusing scenes with an English boy and some suspenseful scenes in a spooky old graveyard. I highly recommend this series! "

    " eh. this time around, gilda was too often teetering on the edge of being insufferable. it's a fine line sometimes. loved the setting though and the mystery/paranormal element was suitably creepy. "

    " I really love these books - but I'm not really sure why! Gilda is just SO likeable, I want to keep reading long after the book is done. The story is interesting and entertaining enough - more so than the first but less than the Ladies of the Lake - it's really Gilda that makes these books. "
