Lesley Blume’s second novel for children, The Rising Star of Rusty Nail, has just been released by Knopf as a paperback.

Inspired by Ms. Blume’s mother’s childhood as a piano prodigy growing up in a tiny 1950s Midwestern farm town, Rusty Nail is “a story that is as rich as it is delicious,” according to a starred review in Booklist

The Historical Novels Review added:

The Rising Star of Rusty Nail is simply fun and laugh-out-loud funny ... readers of all ages will be cheering for Franny; [even] adult readers will find themselves laughing ... Find a copy (or two) and start reading with your kids today!”
