Description: "Selena Quintanilla was the queen of Tejano music. Before she became a star, Selena was a charismatic young girl who loved singing and performing. She made a lot of sacrifices to become a famous musician, rehearsing her songs and dance moves for hours at a time. Her hard work paid off--she became the first 15-year-old girl to win a Tejano music award and went on to break many records during her career. This Selena biography explores how she went from being a talented girl growing up in Texas to a fashion icon and a world-famous singer."--
