The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto by Mitch Albom (Paperback)

Mitch Albom's novel follows Frankie Presto, sent to America at nine years old with an old guitar and six strings. His gift carries him through the music of the twentieth century, from classical and jazz to rock and roll, as he crosses paths with Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, Carole King and KISS on the way to pop stardom.

But his strings hold a secret: whenever he changes someone's life, one of them turns blue. At the height of his fame Frankie disappears, and decades later he comes back to change one last life.
