The True Adventures of Nicoló ZenBy Nicholas Christopher
"Magic, danger, and an unstoppable hero..."
Taking place in 18th-century Italy, and including the composer Antonio Vivaldi as one of the characters, this fun novel is full of intrigue and romance.
I especially enjoyed the beginning, when 14-year-old Nicoló dresses up as a girl in order to get into a an all-girls orphanage, where he can play his enchanted clarinet in a prestigious orchestra.
With magicians, gangsters, lovers, fame and fortune--this story has a lot of twists and turns!
