Parent Guide
When seventh grader Charlie is assigned a family research project at school, she becomes fascinated by the story of her namesake, Charlotte (Lottie), the mysterious child prodigy violinist who disappeared from Hungary during the Holocaust. Charlie is an aspiring violinist too, and she’s inspired and more than a little intimidated by Lottie’s musical success. Highlighting a lovely generation-to-generation connection, Charlie reaches out to her beloved Nana Rose to learn more about her long-lost older sister. This sweet and poignant book offers a soft, age-appropriate look into pre-war life in Vienna and the personal family tragedies of the Holocaust through the eyes of a modern young teen. It is based on the true story of the author’s family.

A must-read book!
Searching for Lottie was amazing; I couldn't stop reading it! This book is about a girl named Charlie who writes a report about her Great Aunt Lottie. Lottie goes to a music school during World War II and her family loses contact with her right before they escape to New York. They think she died, but did she? You should definitely read this book to find out.
