At Mondonville Music Academy—where only 100 students are accepted each year—Aristide “Alice” Lang somehow becomes the 101st. Though he can’t read music or play a basic chord, Alice astonishes everyone when he flawlessly performs a difficult violin piece from memory. With the help of his teacher Yannik, he begins uncovering the mysteries of his past and musical gift. A charming and beautifully illustrated story of self-discovery, rivalry, and the power of innate talent.
