Gus Moskowitz knows that sixth graders are too old to curl up under a quilt, but that’s the only place he can hide from the school bully, his nagging older sister, and, worst of all, his father’s death. It’s been two years since Gus’s father was killed in the World Trade Center, and Gus can’t figure out how to move on. His mother thinks he needs to do something – anything – so she rents him an oboe and signs him up for lessons with her boss’s elderly father, Mr. M. As Gus’s friendship with Mr. M. develops, so does his passion for classical music, and soon he decides to compose a song of his own, a tribute to his father. But even if Gus can find a way to wrap up his father’s life in a single song, will he ever find the courage to play it? In turns playful and poignant, Playing Dad’s Song personalizes the losses at the World Trade Center in New York City by focusing on one child’s struggle with the tragedy.

To let suspicion fall elsewhere and fall there naturally, not to jerk it there - here is where the fin esse, the adroitness of the plot centered. The combined astuteness of their depraved minds, fitted by long training for such work, was taxed to solve the difficult problem but the solution was as nice, as logical and as perfect as a definition in calculus. One fault only could be found, it was too nice; let the smallest cog slip by so much as a hair's breadth, and the ponderous machine would hurl them to death in the balance wheel.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
