At the height of the pandemic, 99-year-old WWII veteran Captain Tom Moore began walking laps of his garden to raise £1,000 for the NHS. By the time of his 100th birthday, he'd reached £32 million and captured the hearts of the nation. In his official autobiography, announced alongside the creation of the Captain Tom Foundation, he tells us not only of his long life, serving in Burma in the war and racing motorbikes, but also how an old soldier with a can-do, never-give-up attitude inspired a nation to believe anything is possible by reminding us it is never too late.

“An account of his sixteen-year-old life . . . interspersed with lyrics, tweets, and numerous full-bleed photographs of Bieber in all his brown-eyed glory.” —Publishers Weekly “It’s a big, big world It’s easy to get lost in it . . .” —Justin Bieber, “Up” I love those lines in the lyrics. Sometimes I feel like that’s what everyone’s expecting. My world got very big, very fast, and a lot of people expect me to get lost in it. I grew up in a small town in Canada. I taught myself to sing in front of my bedroom mirror and to play guitar on a hand-me-down. My mom posted my first videos on YouTube. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I’d sell millions of records, sing for the president of the United States and sell out a massive arena tour. So no, I’m not lost. Not at all. If anything, onstage in front of my fans, I’m home. I’m found. And that’s what this book is about: my journey, from singing and busking on the sidewalk in Stratford, Ontario, to performing and showing my appreciation to millions of fans all over the world for making this dream a reality. My music and lyrics give a glimpse of what’s in my heart, but I think this book is a window into my world. This is my gift to you, the fans who’ve supported and been with me on this amazing journey every step of the way. “A love letter to his legion of screaming girl fans.” —Entertainment Weekly
