Wolfgang
Publishing date:29 january 2019
Synopsis:
Because there are bright minds, brilliant minds… and then there are the truly extraordinary ones
Wolfgang is eleven years old, with an IQ of 152. He loves making lists of impossible things, figuring out how to travel to Neptune, and imagining himself as a world-renowned pianist. Music is his refuge, the place where his emotions make sense. But when his mother dies, he is forced to live with a father he barely knows—a stranger in every sense of the word.
Determined to take control of his own destiny, Wolfgang devises a daring plan: escape and enroll in the most prestigious music academy in the world. But along the way, he unravels a family secret, confronts fears he has never spoken of, and questions the inconsistencies of the adult world with his sharp,
observant, and deeply intelligent gaze.
Heartfelt and thought-provoking, Wolfgang is a coming-of-age journey about grief, genius, and the unbreakable power of dreams.
