Magic in Changing Your Stars, (Hardcover)

<b>Can you change your fate</b><b>--and the fate of those you love--</b><b>if you return to the past? Journey to 1939 Harlem in this time-travel adventure with an inspiring message about believing in yourself.</b> <p> Eleven-year-old Ailey Benjamin Lane can <i>dance</i>--so he's certain that he'll land the role of the Scarecrow in his school's production of <i>The Wiz. </i>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.</p>
