Kathy has asked Amanda to write a story about Josephine. Kathy is super stoked that her little ball of joy will be “famous.”
Halloween is drawing nearer; it’s very busy and touristy in town.
Zoe reaches out to Kathy, wanting to see if she can meet up at G Clef Music Shop. Zoe needs a second opinion on her current project.
Erin is eager to help as well. Turns out, she’s another member of Jasmin and the Magic Carpets. Erin plays the upright bass.
As the ladies chat in the music store, Kathy notices something amiss with one of the violins. There’s a weird sticky substance, too. But who would be messing with the instruments? And why?
The college-aged girls are hoping to win a grant for some unique twist on a classic. It’s sponsored by Miss Amelia.
Nice wrap-up.

Heartwarming
What a sweet little read. When she hears about a competition from Zoe (her flamboyant friend), they both go over to the music store as Zoe wants her take on her proposed piece. However once in their she finds a violin has a broken string. Going further she notices that all the violins have been man handled. As she explores she notices that the back door does ring the bell as it should. Who has been man handling the violins and why? Can there be an innocent reason for it?
