About the Book The Facts and Fictions of Minna Pratt
Minna Pratt, the protagonist of the story, is an eleven-year-old girl living with her quirky, intellectual family. Her mother is a writer, her father a pianist, and her younger brother, McGrew, shares his observations of the world with a unique perspective. Minna herself is a budding cellist, striving to master vibrato—a technique that adds emotion to her music.
Minna's life takes an interesting turn when she befriends Lucas, a new student in her class. Lucas is a charming and talented violinist who becomes Minna's partner in a duet for an upcoming recital. Their friendship blossoms as they practice together, sharing their dreams, fears, and aspirations. Lucas's confidence and encouragement play a pivotal role in Minna's development, helping her believe in her abilities.
The Pratt family dynamics add a delightful layer of humor and warmth to the story. Minna's parents are unconventional and often lost in their creative pursuits. Her mother's whimsical stories and her father's dedication to music create an environment where imagination and creativity flourish. McGrew, with his innocent yet insightful observations, brings a touch of innocence to the narrative.
The climax of the story revolves around the much-anticipated recital. Minna and Lucas perform their duet, and Minna finally achieves vibrato, a moment of triumph that signifies her growth as a musician and as an individual. The recital becomes a turning point in Minna's life, marking her transition from self-doubt to self-assurance.
