Abstract:
It is the conservative era of music in the early 1950s. A class of twenty-five eighth graders in rural Florida are talented dancers and singers seeking livelier tunes. They get more than they bargained for when they hike through the wilds to a scientist’s laboratory, time-travel to the hot jazz era of 1929 to get filmed in a musical. Encounters with dangerous animals, strange creatures, flying saucers, and malfunction of the time machine makes it doubtful they’ll return home safely. They become part of an alien plan to cool the Cold War.

Walt Breville, a retired postman, has written a charming story about an 8th grade class interested in music. Walt has recently lived in central Florida for 6 years. He us a radio hobbyist who has published articles on long distance listening, enjoys reading about subjects ranging from UFOs to history of early jazz, movies, and World War II. Enjoying the beauty of Florida while hiking, cycling, and boating has inspired him to write his first work of fiction.
