"Mozart s magic flute has nothing on the fine fiddle Darius Dorian comes across when he s paired with Archibald Archinola for a school project. Encased in a glass curio in the violinmaker s studio sits a peculiar violin that proves to have the power to heal and the power to create a good bit of havoc.As an orphan at Stork s Nest Children s Home, it s a fact that Darius often gets the short end of the stick. He s familiar with hand-me-downs and handouts, and he took his fair share of ribbing after his nemesis and fellow orphan Max draws a Porsche dealership for the same three-week assignment. Though in a string of events and enviable action, Darius goes on the adventure of a lifetime and, for once, it s Darius who gets to call the shots and pull a few strings when a greedy doctor sets his sights on the magic violin."--Amazon.com
