(3) 4-6 Jeremiah's nouveau riche parents want only the best for their gawky son--private school plus lessons in etiquette, dancing, art, and piano. When Jeremiah hears a banjo playing, he becomes obsessed with following his true destiny. Fagan's straightforward, nondidactic narrative hints at the fact that individualism has its own rewards. An appended author's note encourages readers to build their own banjos.
