BOOK: Fiddle Fever by Doucet

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@TELLURIAN.NET>]

Doucet, Sharon Anns. _Fiddle Fever._ Clarion Books, 2000
 [0-618-04324-1]
This story takes place in the Cajun bayous during 1914.  Teenage
Felix feels trapped on the farm in Louisiana.  His parents are strict
and for some reason they wont let him learn the fiddle -- something
his Uncle plays and everyone admires him for it.  This is the tale of
teenage rebellion but it told against the colorful setting of the Cajun
world.  The reader learns something of a culture while enjoying an
emotional story.  This 166 page book contains a glossary at the
end for the cajun dialect (which is not overpowering.)
