BookPeople is pleased to welcome bestselling author Mitch Albom to Austin's Central Presbyterian Church to discuss THE MAGIC STRINGS OF FRANKIE PRESTO. Tickets are required and include a copy of The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto. Central Presbyterian Church is located at 200 E 8th St, Austin, TX 78701, Austin, TX 78701.

In Albom's most sweeping novel yet, the voice of Music narrates the tale of its most beloved disciple, young Frankie Presto, a war orphan raised by a blind music teacher in a small Spanish town. At nine years old, Frankie is sent to America in the bottom of a boat. His only possession is an old guitar and six precious strings. But Frankie's talent is touched by the gods, and his amazing journey weaves him through the musical landscape of the 20thcentury, from classical to jazz to rock and roll, with his stunning talent affecting numerous stars along the way, including Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, Carole King, Wynton Marsalis and even KISS. With its Forest Gump-like romp through the music world, The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto is infused with the message that everyone joins a band in this life and those connections change us all.

Mitch Albom is a bestselling novelist, a screen-writer, a playwright, and an award-winning journalist. He is the author of six consecutive number-one New York Times bestsellers and has sold more than thirty-four million copies of his books in forty-two languages worldwide. Tuesdays with Morrie, which spent four years atop the New York Times list, is the bestselling memoir of all time.
