Cornelia and the Audacious Excapades of the Sommerset Sisters - Lesley M.M. Blume




My new favorite book! Cornelia is the daughter of two world famous concert pianists - one of whom she has never met (dad), and the other she only sees briefly between flights to Morocco, Paris, etc. and non-stop hours of practice when she is home. This is what Cornelia believes defines her - she believes that people only want to get to know her to get close to her famous mother. She doesn't believe that anyone is really interested in her. Then one day, there are boxes all over hallway next door to their apartment. When Cornelia investigates, she sees a sign that says "Chien bizarre" then a little French bulldog comes running out of the apartment. This is her introduction to Mr. Kinyatta and shortly thereafter to Ms. Virginia Sommerset.
