A heartfelt middle-grade novel about a theater-loving girl who uses a wheelchair for mobility and her quest to defy expectationsand gravityfrom Tony awardwinning 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 theres one thing shes absolutely OBSESSED with: MUSICALS! From Hamilton to Les Mis, theres not a cast album she hasnt memorized and belted along to. Shes 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 Nats 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 Nats 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? See more
