Justin Timberlake (Blue Banner Biographies) [Library Binding]

Kathleen Tracy (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 8 and up | Grade Level: 3 and up | Series: Blue Banner Biographies

Justin Timberlake could have taken it easy. As a member of the boy band NSync, he had traveled the world, produced hit records, and become comfortably wealthy all before he was old enough to legally go into a music club. While Justin loved NSync, he also wanted to prove himself as a solo artist. But the music he wanted to make was nothing like what he d done with NSync. It was a risky choice: What if his old fans didn t like his new sound? Would he be accepted by the public as a mature performer instead of a boy band singer? If the album tanked, would his career go down with it? Justin was willing to take the chance and in doing so, he carved out one of the biggest success stories in recent music history. This is the story of how Justin went from an unknown to a Disney Mouseketeer to a teen idol to one of the most respected, popular performers in the world.

I agree with "lacy lacy". It is quite expensive for what you get. A true fan/collector should buy it just for their collection but don't expect much.

This product is way too overpriced for what you get. The book is very short, and looks like something an average fan put together. Not what I had expected, and upset I paid as much as I did for it. The worse part is that it is a gift for a 16 year old. Grrrr. Don't buy it, it's a waste of money.
