Cassie Louise Lightfoot has a dream: to be free to go wherever she wants for the rest of her life. One night, up on “tar beach,” the rooftop of her family’s Harlem apartment building, her dreams come true. The stars lift her up, and she flies over the city, claiming the buildings and the city as her own.
-
As Cassie learns, anyone can fly. “All you need is somewhere to go you cannot get to any other way. The next thing you know, you are flying among the stars.”
