Yang the Youngest and His Terrible Ear by Lensey Namioka
Title: Yang the Youngest and His Terrible Ear
Author: Lensey Namioka
Number of Pages: 134 pages
Book Number/Goal: 47/75 for 2009
My Rating: 3.5/5
Yingtao and his family have just moved to the US from China. It's hard to adjust to a new culture and language, but Yingtao's biggest problem is one he's had all his life: his family is very musical and he's tone-deaf. No matter how much he practices the violin, he never gets any better.
This is aimed at a pretty young audience (Yingtao is 9/10, so I'd guess it's aimed at kids a bit younger than that), so the language is really simple, but the story is cute. This is the first in a series about the Yang family and I'll definitely be checking the rest out.
