Nathan's song
(Book)

"From the time Nathan is a little boy in Russia, he loves to sing. But in his poor shtetl, there is no chance to pursue his dream. And so his family works together to save until Nathan has enough money for travel to Italy, where the best vocal teachers are. Not all journeys go as planned, though. How Nathan finds himself on the wrong ship is just the start of his adventure-one that will lead him to the most exciting city in the world, where his big dream just might come true . . . and then some!"--book jacket.
