( ) The book has Cary Fagan's characteristically sparkling writing that isn't dumbed down in the least for kids. The problem, though, is the subject of the book, a rich kid's love for the banjo and dedication to making one on the sly when his nouveau-riche parents would prefer that he play Bach badly on the piano. In the end, it's a book about following your bliss. Great message but I'm not sure young readers will stick with the book. Including a diagram of the parts of the banjo would've been a great idea. I had to check one online myself to follow some of the details about Jeremiah's construction of the instrument. näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Jeremiah Birnbaum is stinking rich. He lives in a house with nine bathrooms, a games room, an exercise room, an indoor pool, a hot tub, a movie theater, a bowling alley and a tennis court. His parents, a former hotdog vendor and window cleaner who made it big in dental floss, make sure Jeremiah goes to the very best private school, and that he takes lessons in all the things he will need to know how to do as an accomplished and impressive young man: etiquette lessons, ballroom dancing, watercolor painting.

But one day, by chance, he hears the captivating strains of a different kind of music â?? the strums, plucks and rhythms of a banjo.

And when his parents forbid him to play one, he decides to learn anyway â?? even if he has to make the instrument hims Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
