Wylene made it sound so easy. Martin had always like music -- liked to listen to it, liked to make up tunes in his head. But all he had to do was say the word piano to his father and all hell would break loose. His father thought music was for sissies, and was always mad at Martin for not being good at baseball. But with a lot of help from his friends Wylene and Sybil and his grandmother, Hazeline, Martin learns that, although he can't change his father, he can learn to stick up for himself. With humor, pathos, and a colorful cast of offbeat characters, Barbara O'Connor shows that there's room for genius wherever there's a place for compassion-- even in Paradise.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBarbara O'Connor\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of numerous acclaimed books for children, including \u003ci\u003eFame and Glory in Freedom, Georgia\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eMe and Rupert Goody\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eGreetings from Nowhere\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHow to Steal a Dog\u003c\/i\u003e.
