Chance to Fly (Chance to Fly #01) (Paperback)
ISBN-13: 9781419743948
From Tony Award-winning actress Ali Stroker and Stacy Davidowitz, THE CHANCE TO FLY is an inspiring and heartfelt middle-grade novel about a theater-loving girl who uses a wheelchair for mobility and her quest to defy expectations -- and gravity.
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 there's one thing she's absolutely OBSESSED with: MUSICALS! From Hamilton to Les Mis, there's not a cast album she hasn't memorized and belted along to. She's never actually been in a musical though, or even seen an actor who uses a wheelchair for mobility onstage. Would someone like Nat ever get cast?
But when Nat's family moves from California to New Jersey, Nat stumbles upon auditions for a kids' 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) -- especially Malik, the male lead and cutest boy Nat's ever seen. But when things go awry a week before opening night, will Nat be able to cast her fears and insecurities aside and "Defy Gravity" in every sense of the song title?
Includes a sneak peek of Nat Beacon's next story, CUT LOOSE!
"The perfect read for any dream chaser... You'll realize how unlimited your possibilities are." --Tony and Emmy Award-winning actress and singer Kristen Chenoweth
Target age group 8-12
