I read an awesome book with a lot of music in it.  The title was Yang the Eldest and his Odd Jobs.  The problem was that Eldest Brother had a buzz in his violin.  But he didn't have the money to replace it.  The author was Lensey Namioka.

Guess what!  I heard a fantastic book.  The title is Yang the Eldest and His Odd Jobs.  The author is Lensey Namioka.  I think he used fantastic words and lots of detail.  The characters are Yang the Eldest, his sisters, 4th brother and his Mom and Dad. The problem is that Yang's violin is broken and he has to get a new violin so he does all different kinds of jobs like a telemarketer and many more jobs.  So you can read this book anywhere.  It is fun to read.
