Can
you change your fate—and the fate of those you love—if you return to the past?
Journey to 1939 Harlem in this time-travel adventure with an inspiring message
about believing in yourself.
Eleven-year-old Ailey Benjamin
Lane can dance—so he’s certain that he'll land the role of the Scarecrow in his
school’s production of The Wiz. Unfortunately, a talented classmate and a
serious attack of nerves derail his audition: he just stands there, frozen.
Deflated and defeated, Ailey confides in his Grampa that he’s ready to quit.
But Grampa believes in Ailey, and, to encourage him, shares a childhood story.
As a boy, Grampa dreamed of becoming a tap dancer; he was so good that the
Hollywood star and unofficial Mayor of Harlem, Bill "Bojangles"
Robinson, even gave him a special pair of tap shoes. Curious, Ailey tries on
the shoes . . . and instantly finds
himself transported to 1930s Harlem. There he meets a young street tapper and
realizes that it’s his own grandfather! Can Ailey help the 12-year-old version
of Grampa face his fears? And, if Ailey changes the past, will he still be able
to get home again? Featuring an all-African-American cast of characters, and
infused with references to black culture and history, this work of magical
realism is sure to captivate and inspire readers.
