Eleven-year-old Cornelia is the daughter of two world-famous pianists—a legacy that should feel fabulous, but instead feels just plain lonely. She surrounds herself with dictionaries and other books to isolate herself from the outside world. But when a glamorous neighbor named Virginia Somerset moves next door with her servant Patel and a mischievous French bulldog named Mister Kinyatta, Cornelia discovers that the world is a much more exciting place than she had originally thought.

An unforgettable story of friendship and adventure that takes readers around the world and back again, Cornelia and the Audacious Escapades of the Somerset Sisters is a dazzling first novel by Lesley M. M. Blume.

This book is really good. I think books about adventure and mishap are awesome! One question though. How did Virginia's sisters die?

So colorful and awesome this book is. Though it's one of those books where you read it once and the second time you read it you don't see the magic anymore.

Cornelia is the main character in this book. She doesn't have any friends that like her for who she truly is, but that changes when she meets her new neighbor, Virginia.

I totally recommend this book! u should read it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
