Fiction. "Eddie Kane the "twelve-year-old terror of the five-string banjo," comes from two powerful traditions--on his father's side, baseball; and on his mother's, music. His natural talent for the banjo threatens to eclipse his dreams of following his father's footsteps and playing baseball.

The transforming power of music sustains him on this lively quest for adulthood."--Lee Smith.
