Once the Coot Capital of the world, in 1953 it's just a run-of-the-mill town with one traffic light and a bizarre cast of characters. She's long exhausted the talents of the town's only piano teacher and seems destined to perform at church events and school assemblies, until a mysterious Russian woman arrives in Rusty Nail. Franny's neighbors are convinced the "Commie" is a threat to their American way of life, but Franny's not so sure. Could this stranger be her ticket out of Rusty Nail? Does she dare defy the town in order to realize her ambitions?" --From the publisher. Audience:  Reading level: 4.5. Yearling. Ages: 9-12. Yearling.
