Mozart: The Boy Who Changed the World with his Music by Marcus Weeks

Bibliographic Information
Weeks, M. (2007). Mozart: The boy who changed the world with his music. Washington, D.C.:
National Geographic.
Plot
This book is all about the life of Mozart and includes sections about his childhood, the
music, the time period, his family, and even what he would have worn when he was alive.
Setting
The setting is mostly in Austria.

Theme
The book is mostly about Mozarts life but there is an underlying theme of you are never
too young to do amazing things in the way it is written.
Characters
The only real character that is in this book is Mozart and other generalized people of this
home country.
Style
This book is written primarily in an objective style with great sentence variation and
structure throughout the text.
Point of View
This book is written from the view of an all knowing narrator that knows all about
Mozarts life.
Reflections
I liked this book. It would be really good to use this when introducing non-fiction texts in
the classroom since Mozart was a young boy when he really grew in the music profession
making the text a bit more personable.
