From School Library Journal:
Grade 5-8 As the only child of a single musician, Geraldine (nicknamed Jellybean) has always played second fiddle to her mother's career. Resentful and lonely, she has to arrange her life around her mother's rehearsal and performance schedule as a concert cellist. A man from her mother's past helps Geraldine discover her own passion for music and helps her to better understand her mother and herself. This book is a commentary on the dedication and single-mindedness that a musician must have in order to succeed. The characters are real people who deal with real problems and who grow and change during the course of the story. This well-written novel, set in New Zealand, is slow paced but solid. It should appeal not only to those interested in music, but also to children who may sometimes feel that they are not getting enough attention from or spending enough time with their parents.
