“Fans of this series and the earlier Mercy Watson books will be amazed by Eugenia’s partial redemption and delight that the results are merely temporary.” — Booklist

Eugenia Lincoln is a practical person with no time for frivolity. When an unexpected package containing an accordion arrives at her house, she is determined to have nothing to do with it. But her plans end in frustration. How can Eugenia stop being tormented by this troublesome package? What will it take for a cynical older sister to realize she’s a born accordion player — with music in her heart?
