An up-close and personal look at the teen singing sensation who is rocking the music world  Fresh-faced, charismatic, and impossibly cute, Justin Bieber is a multi-talented young idol who has taken the music world by storm. The first full-scale biography of the singer tells his sensational story, providing fans with insights into his day-to-day world and the chance to see what really makes him tick.
