The Kingdom of Back by Marie Lu
This historical fiction book tells the story of Mozart and his older sister. They were both musical prodigies (though Wolfgang had the better ear for music.) The also have an imaginary "Kingdom of Back". The kingdom plays a more significant role in this book, with Mozart's sister spending more time there and even exploring chances to hurt her brother so she will have fame. (She had been hurt that he gets the fame, especially when their dad passes off some of her compositions in his name.) She decides against hurting her brother and does support him. Later, after his death, she hopes to support his biography. It is an interesting historical fiction book that spends a bit too much time in fantasy.
