Join us this month as we discuss The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto by Mitch Albom.

Frankie Presto—the greatest guitarist ever to walk the earth—leads this magical novel about the power of talent to change our lives. The voice of Music narrates the tale of its most beloved disciple, Frankie Presto, a Spanish war orphan raised by a blind music teacher. At nine years old, Frankie is sent to America in the bottom of a boat. His only possession is an old guitar and six magical strings. But Frankie’s talent is touched by the gods, and it weaves him through the musical landscape of the twentieth century, from classical to jazz to rock and roll. As Frankie becomes a bonafide rockstar, his gift becomes his burden, and he realizes that he can actually affect people’s futures: his guitar strings turn blue whenever a life is altered. Overwhelmed by this power, he disappears for years, only to reemerge in a spectacular and mysterious farewell.
