Reach for this book when your child is struggling to find their voice within a group or feels like an outsider after a major life transition. Set in the 1990s in Berlin shortly after the wall fell, the story follows a group of young musicians who must navigate a mystery involving a missing friend and a suspected spy. It speaks deeply to the experience of being the second fiddle, literally and metaphorically, and the courage it takes to step into a leadership role when justice is on the line. Parents will appreciate the historical richness and the way it models standing up for others, even when you feel small. It is a sophisticated but accessible choice for middle grade readers who enjoy history and high-stakes friendship stories.
