What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

A story about finding your own way to follow in your family’s footsteps, featuring 12 fabulous songs. Oh, that darn Frederic Pipin! He’ll do anything to get out of learning how to play an instrument, much to the chagrin of his loving parents, who named him after the great Chopin. Piano lessons with Mr. Stricter prove to be disastrous, so he has a go at the cello, the oboe, and the clarinet… but sadly, nothing fits. Until one glorious day, he attends his sister’s recital and falls under the spell of an incredible conductor. To the amazement of the Pipkin family, what follows is the discovery of Frederic’s new gift and a fabulous new song. Includes a CD (and a unique digital download code) featuring a dozen pop-rock songs inspired by the story. WINNER OF THE PARENTS’ CHOICE RECOMMENDED AWARD
