Jimmy Jo has the gift of music. At first, he's afraid to sing in front of anybody but his Grandma encourages him, so he sings in front of his family, then eventually in front of people. He becomes a star, but he has to change himself. He moves from West Virginia to Virginia with his family, goes to a new school and becomes isolated in school. This book kept me reading into the late hours, and was definately heartbreaking in parts. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys Katherine Paterson. ( )
