 es playing the violin more than anything\, and nothing will stop him from 
 pursuing his dream of becoming a professional musician. Not his mother\, w
 ho thinks he should get a real job\, not the fact that he can't afford a h
 igh-caliber violin\, not the racism inherent in the classical music world.
  And when he makes the startling discovery that his great-grandfather's fi
 ddle is actually a priceless Stradivarius\, his star begins to rise. Then 
 with the international Tchaikovsky Competition-the Olympics of classical m
 usic-fast approaching\, his prized family heirloom is stolen. Ray is deter
 mined to get it back. But now his family and the descendants of the man wh
 o once enslaved Ray's great-grandfather are each claiming that the violin 
 belongs to them. With the odds stacked against him and the pressure mounti
 ng\, will Ray ever see his beloved violin again?"-- MCPL Catalog&nbsp\;</p
