From the publisher

“Guest’s simple, descriptive sentences and familiar easily resolved dramas continue to be just right for new readers.”–Booklist Walter loves his harmonica. It belonged to his grandma, and he can’t wait to play her all the songs that he’s learned. But when he lets Iris borrow it the night before his grandma comes to visit, something awful happens – it gets lost! How will Iris break the news to Walter?
