General fiction (Children's&YA)

An internationally renowned classical pianist at the age of 26, Lang Lang is a ""rock star"" in the music world. His story--growing up poor in China, his sacrifices to become a top pianist, and his rise to world recognition--is utterly fascinating and inspiring.

It's a story that transcends the music world and will be embraced by readers who want to root for an underdog.

HE STARTED LEARNING to play the piano when he was three years old in Shenyang, China. Today he is one of the world's most outstanding pianists. In this engrossing life story, adapted by Michael French, Lang Lang not only recounts the difficult, often thrilling, events of his early days, but also shares his perspective on his rapidly changing homeland. He thoughtfully explores the differences between East and West, especially in the realm of classical music and cultural life. Shining through his rags-to-riches story of a child prodigy who came of age as a renowned musician, Lang Lang's positive spirit, his dynamic personality, and his enduring passion for music will inspire readers of all ages. Includes a 16-page photo insert.
