Summary

Come Sing, Jimmy Jo Summary

Come Sing, Jimmy Jo by Katherine Paterson

Written by Newbery, National Book Award, and Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal winner Katherine Paterson

The Johnsons are becoming country music stars. They're on TV and the radio--and it's all because of James. His voice and his guitar playing bring the songs to life, and make the audiences beg for more. Most kids would love it. Not James. He's had to change his name to Jimmy Jo, dress in clothes he hates, and turn into someone else. Will he ever be able to cope with the fame?
