From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5-This story is the vehicle for connecting Handel's Messiah with the Foundling Hospital to which he left the score after his death. Thomas is a street child in 18th-century London, mute except for a beautiful singing voice exploited by the Keeper, who uses children for his own greedy aims. George Frideric Handel has pleased the King with his joyful compositions and is recognized wherever he goes. Thomas and his friends first come to Handel's attention when they carry his harpsichord from the royal barge. Handel decides he can help Thomas and goes in search of him among the street children, only to learn that he has disappeared. He sets off with a group of children to find him, following clues that ultimately lead them to the opera house where, backstage, they find the boy singing "like a lost, lonely angel." Handel takes the children to live at the Foundling Hospital where Thomas, joining the chapel singers in the "Hallelujah Chorus," finds a home for his beautiful voice. While the story is contrived to place the composer and his music in context for young readers, it is filled with colorful details of time and place and illustrated with lush, full-page paintings opposite every page of text. An author's note provides factual perspective to this accessible slice of music history.

From Booklist
Gr. 3-4, somewhat younger for reading aloud. Thomas, a street urchin in eighteenth-century London, is mute except when he sings. He and his friends live under the control of the Keeper, a wicked man who hires him out to sing for the gentry, including George Frederic Handel. When Thomas disappears one day, his friends enlist the composer's help in finding him. Studded with references to Handel's life and works, this illustrated short story will primarily interest children already familiar with the composer or intrigued by the history of London. With Handel as the hero and the Keeper as the villain, adults are in control here, and there's little doubt as to the story's outcome. The illustrations show characters' whose gestures and facial expressions are sometimes exaggerated, though many of the pictures are subtler and more successful in their portrayal of emotions. The architectural elements in Walker's compositions are unusually fine. For larger collections. Carolyn Phelan
