From Tony Award–winning actress Ali Stroker and Stacy Davidowitz,
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—now in
paperbackThirteen-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 on stage.
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?
The showstopping sequel to The Chance to Fly, which New York Times
bestselling author Chris Colfer called “unique, inspirational,
and full of heart”It’s the beginning of eighth grade, and Nat
Beacon is nervous. Not only will she be the New Kid, but the New
Kid in a Wheelchair. And the school year starts off rocky: No one
seems friendly, and she can’t get to the cafeteria without help.
But there are a few bright spots. Namely, her best friend, Hudson,
her boyfriend (swoon!), Malik, and her very favorite thing:
theater. This year, there’s a middle-school theater competition,
and any production that wins their regional competition will get
the chance to perform—on a real Broadway stage!Nat couldn’t be
more excited. This is her chance to make it big and prove she
belongs at her new school! Nat wows the director and gets cast in
the school production: Footloose! But rehearsals are super
stressful. Dance diva, Skye, wants more complex choreography, Malik
keeps flaking for band practice, and Hudson gives Nat the cold
shoulder, leaving Nat confused and alone. Nat starts to wonder
whether she can really carry the show to Broadway and whether,
without her friends, it’s worth doing theater at all. Full of
heart, friendship, and so much song, Cut Loose! by Tony Award
winner Ali Stroker and Stacy Davidowitz is an uplifting story about
embracing your strengths, standing out, and standing up for what
you believe in.
