Summary
Gus is worried he'll make a fool of himself at his upcoming piano recital, but Grandpa, who played a little violin himself, steps in to help Gus learn the love of making music.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
The tenth book in Claudia Mills' beloved series
 
For Gus, the longest half hour of the day is spent practicing the piano. Why can't he be outside, shooting hoops with Ryan Mason? Even more painful are the lessons: Mrs. Moore complains about Gus's squishy fingers. But most painful of all is the piano recital. Gus has to play a piece called "The Horse Race," and he's not sure he will remember it.
 
As a child, Grandpa played the violin, so he knows exactly how Gus feels. Grandpa also knows about something Gus will love—making music with others—and once again he shows Gus the way in a story with pictures that "reflect the sunny warmth of loving connections passed across generations" (Booklist).
