description: Kids can be movers and shakers and melody makers; they can change the world or help save one that is falling apart. Inspiring stories in this collection include the tale of Iqbal, the 12-year-old Pakistani boy who helped bring the world’s attention to child labor conditions; Yehudi Menuhin, who led the New York Symphony Orchestra at Carnegie Hall at the age of 10; and Lady Jane Grey, who ascended to the English throne at the age of 15. Genius kids, feral kids, kids who save the lives of complete strangers, and more are all here. Kids can do amazing things!
