Synopsis

The story of a young boy’s introduction to the joys of making music, certain to get many a child’s foot tapping and many a youngster drumming.

One day when Max doesn’t feel like talking to anybody, he finds two sticks that make a perfect pair of drumsticks. He starts with a Pat...pat-tat on his thighs. Then he’s Dum...dum-dedumming on some boxes. Until finally he’s Cling...clang...da-BANGING on the garbage pails. Suddenly, when a marching band Thump-di-di-thumps around Max’s corner, the most wonderful thing happens, and Max learns that you don’t need to talk to say how you feel—especially when you’ve got music.

About this title

From the Publisher:

When Master Kim announces that JoJo is ready to take the test for her yellow belt promotion, butterflies start fluttering in her stomach. JoJo loves Tae Kwon Do, but can she really do a perfect flying side kick and break a board in two?

And, as if the test isn't enough, the creepy tree in JoJo's front yard is really starting to worry her. Sometimes JoJo thinks that tree will slip right through her window, like a sneaky bandit.

JoJo's grandaddy, her mom, and her friend P.J. offer advice and words of wisdom, but ultimately, JoJo discovers that she must rely on her own strength and growing self-confidence to triumph in class and in life.
