LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -
Miley Cyrus, the 15-year-old teen
idol better known as "Hannah Montana," plans to write a memoir
about her journey to stardom, the Disney Book Group said on
Tuesday.
The book, to be published by Disney-Hyperion Books and
scheduled to hit bookshelves next spring, will trace her life
from her roots in the Southern United States to Hollywood
celebrity and will feature photographs from her famous family.
Cyrus is the daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus,
who rose to fame with 1992's "Achy, Breaky Heart. In recent
years, Miley has rocketed to her own stardom as "Hannah
Montana" on the Disney Channel's TV show of the same name about
a girl who leads a double life as a teenager and singing
sensation.
"I am so excited to let fans in on how important my
relationship with my family is to me," Cyrus said in a
statement. "I hope to motivate mothers and daughters to build
lifetimes of memories together, and inspire kids around the
world to live their dreams."
"Hannah Montana" ranks first among TV series on U.S. cable
television for children aged 6 to 14 and reaches more than 164
million viewers worldwide, according to Disney.
Last year's "Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both
Worlds" concert tour was a sensation, and a recent Disney movie
of that tour was a box-office hit.
