Alex Ko: From Iowa to Broadway, My Billy Elliot Story

328 pp. | HarperCollins/Harper | May, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-223601-2 $16.99
(3) 4-6 Iowa native Alex Ko trained in gymnastics and competitive dance before focusing on ballet at his dying father's insistence. Eventually, overcoming injury and financial struggle, Ko went on to star as Billy in Broadway's Billy Elliot at the age of thirteen. Readers will find this look at the demanding process of making it onstage (and backstage) both insightful and inspiring.
