Nowhere Boy.
Extensive reading improves fluency and there is a real need in the ELT classroom for contemporary graded material that will stimulate students. Nowhere Boy is based on the 2009 hit British film about the iconic musician John Lennon, growing up as a rebellious but gifted teenager in 1950s' Liverpool. The enduring global success of the Beatles and the continued interest in his life and music make this an appealing reader for older teenagers.

He'd lived an abnormal life with his childhood. I didn't know about it, just heard from someone about his story. It was really interesting to know of him, the popular musician in the world. Because his story's interesting, I read this book really fast and found the movie which has the same story with this book. Actually, I enjoyed the book more than the movie. :-)
