(2) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Mags is a writer. Gillian is a violinist. They form a prickly friendship based on Gillian's desire to attend the prestigious Yehudi Menuhin school and Mags's determination to get Gillian's parents to send her. Mags is a true original, struggling to define herself against the stories she knows, and it's this ironic awareness that makes her so thoroughly appealing.
