LOS ANGELES - She's only 15, but teen idol Miley Cyrus is ready to tell her life story in a memoir for the legion of fans of her hit television show "Hannah Montana."
The publishing branch of Disney's media empire, which launched the singer-actress's career, announced Tuesday that it acquired the world rights to Cyrus's first book.
The daughter of US country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, Miley Cyrus has had a cult following since her television show hit the airwaves on the Disney Channel in 2006.
The series tells the story of a teenager who leads a double life as an ordinary school student who hides her famous life as pop singer Hannah Montana from her classmates.
"Miley will share her inspiring story, spanning from her Southern roots in Tennessee to the excitement of her record-setting triumphs in TV, music and film," Disney Book Group said in a statement.
"Notably, Miley will reveal how her solid relationship with her family, especially her mother Leticia, helps her navigate the spotlight and encourages her to contribute and connect to the world in a variety of ways and grow up happy and well-rounded," it said.
The book is scheduled to hit bookstores next year.
Disney has sold more than eight million soundtracks from the television show, while Cyrus's concert tour last year sold out everywhere she travelled with tickets reaching the thousands of dollars in the black market.
The film from the show raked in 31.1 million dollars on its opening weekend in February, topping the North American box office despite being released in only 683 theatres. Blockbusters usually open in 3,000 to 4,000 theatres. - AFP/fa
