Description
A heartfelt middle-grade novel about a theater-loving girl who uses a wheelchair for mobility and her quest to defy expectationsâand gravityâfrom Tony awardâwinning actress Ali Stroker and Stacy Davidowitz
Thirteen-year-old Nat Beacon loves a lot of things: her dog Warbucks, her best friend Chloe, and competing on her wheelchair racing team, the Zoomers, to name a few. But thereâs one thing sheâs absolutely OBSESSED with: MUSICALS! From Hamilton to Les Mis, thereâs not a cast album she hasnât memorized and belted along to. Sheâs never actually been in a musical though, or even seen an actor who uses a wheelchair for mobility on stage. Would someone like Nat ever get cast?
But when Natâs family moves from California to New Jersey, Nat stumbles upon auditions for a kidsâ production of Wicked, one of her favorite musicals ever! And she gets into the ensemble! The other cast members are super cool and inclusive (well, most of them)â especially Malik, the male lead and cutest boy Natâs ever seen. But when things go awry a week before opening night, will Nat be able to cast her fears and insecurities aside and âDefy Gravityâ in every sense of the song title?
