Description

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 finds the shoes, tries them on, taps his toes, and makes a wish.

In the blink of an eye, he finds himself somewhere that if most definitely no place like home!

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.
