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.
