Extra, extra! Read all about it! Step into the streets of 1920s New York City, where a newspaper boy has a chance encounter with the famous composer George Gershwin, and together they explore the many sights and sounds of the city. Gershwin shares anecdotes about his life and musical passion and a bonding friendship develops as the two explore the vast melting pot of American music.
