She enters into the fun with her adopted brother, Alistair, who plays the viola, and his friends in the Youth Orchestra; and between them they find adventure; in a London street-market, in giving concerts, in Sarah's secret half-term trip to Liverpool, and in a visit of the orchestra to Paris. The greatest excitement comes when Alistair, is asked to write and conduct music for a performance of Son et Lumiere at the chateau Leopards on the Loire - a performance that will feature a brilliant young dancer, Monica.
