The Piano at the Station

It was a bit to long I didn’t really like it . It was a fiction I think I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone but people who do piano .

I liked it because it tells you about the piano

I liked it because it tells you about the piano

Was not that good, I thought it was a bit boring.

Awsome

I like how this book shows that some people have hidden talents like lacey and are not just a random person.

I don't like it because the girl is rude

Thought the story was going to be more than this… Liked the character of the music teacher and the description of everything clearing from Lacey’s head when she plays the piano… but, apart from that, I found it quite disappointing…

It is kind of interesting but dislike the part where the girl was really nasty.

This book was good to read, I liked the words that they used.

Lacey is always in trouble at school spending more time in isolation than she does in her own class and she just doesn’t care. In a last attempt to help, Lacey’s head teacher, Mrs Hukin sends her to lunchtime music therapy class where she can “stay out of trouble… be safe and stay away from the kids she struggles with.” Lacey soon discovers that she has an amazing musical gift, a gift that allows her to escape the thoughts in her head and finally feel calm and filled with peace. Lacey is a wonderful character, although she clearly has own difficulties through a love of music she learns to express herself in a very powerful way. I found it heart-warming to read of Mrs Hukin too, a head teacher who doesn’t want to give up and get rid of what is obviously a very disruptive student. My only criticism of The Piano at the Station, published by Barrington Stoke in their unique and ultra-accessible way, is how short it is. The characters and storyline are so strong leaving you wanting more, it would make a wonderful full length chapter book.
