Stradivarius: A Novel (1995) by Donald Ladew
Chronicles the owners of a violin built in 1685 that eventually finds its way to a young boy in rural West Virginia.
“Ladew’s descriptions of the boy’s musical gifts are chilling in their power, and the warmth and self-sacrifice of the characters are evident.” – School Library Journal
