In James Johnson's family, everybody strums and sings. With their music, his mamma, daddy, and uncle get crowds stomping at county fairs. Eleven-year-old James loves to sing harmony with his grandma on their favorite old mountain ballads. One day, the Johnson family hires a manager to book their appearances. But when the manager hears James sing, he quickly gives the boy a stage name and puts him on national TV. As his popularity grows, James will have to decide what is more important to him-fame or family. Millions of readers have been enchanted by Katherine Paterson's books, which include Newbery Medal-winning Bridge to Terabithia. With narrator Linda Stephens' musical voice, Come Sing, Jimmy Jo is as moving as the melodies the Johnson family sings. This book was chosen as a School Library Journal Best Book of the Year, A Booklist Editor's Choice, and an IRA-CBC Children's Choice.
