Subway Sonata

Subway Sonata

Subway Sonata

BY PATRICIA LAKIN AND HEATHER MAIONE

Brief Description:
The downtown subway ride to work can be a chore-or it can be an inspiration, as it is for four different creative minds in this unusual tale for readers 5 to 8. Paul, an unpublished writer, notices an immigrant boy; Rachel, a composer, is entranced by the rhythms and bustle of the subway; Carlos, a choreographer, is moved by a one-armed man singing Spanish songs to himself; and Maria, a painter, is impressed with the magnanimity of a white-turbaned woman quoting scripture. The impressions of the trip find expression as the story explores the frustrations and sudden breakthroughs of the creative process. Was $22.95
