If you, like me, have a child/children with names that are not common in the vernacular, or are spelled in a way that is less common, you know the devastation that is a child who can never seem to find “their” name in a book. Ditto if you have a child/children (again, like me) who never seem to quite find themselves in the characters they encounter. Or if you have a reluctant reader, who can’t seem to find any characters that they can relate to on their own. Personalized story books are a fabulous solution to these challenges, and Story Bug is a fabulous source for that solution!

With his father dead, a gifted, fourteen-year-old pianist finds himself sent away from his Caribbean home against his will, to study classical music in the U.S. with a family friend he’ s never met.
