The Rising Star of Rusty Nail by Lesley M.M. Blume


It took me a while to get into this book, and but I thought it was an interesting story.

From Amazon:
Franny Hansen is a 10-year-old piano prodigy living in Rusty Nail, Minnesota. Once the Coot Capitol of the world, in 1953 it's just a run-of-the-mill town with one traffic light and a bizarre cast of characters. She's long exhausted the talents of the town's only piano teacher and seems destined to perform at church events and school assemblies, until a mysterious Russian woman arrives in Rusty Nail. Franny's neighbors are convinced the "Commie" is a threat to their American way of life, but Franny's not so sure. Could this stranger be her ticket out of Rusty Nail?

Happy reading! If you read The Rising Star of Rusty Nail, comment on this post and let me know how you liked it. :)
