Description

Ailey Benjamin Lane can <i>dance</i>, so he's sure he'll play the Scarecrow in his school's production of <i>The Wiz. </i>But he bungles the audition and, feeling defeated, tells his Grampa that he's quitting. To encourage Ailey, Grampa reveals that he once dreamed of becoming a tap dancer--and even received special tap shoes from the legendary tapper Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. 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.
