Platforms (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781460211229)

All jaws drop when high school track and football star Tyler Spence throws in his helmet and cleats to form Dance Machine a "white boy" funk band with four fellow classmates. Rising in popularity, the band sets off on the road to a remote corner of their State to play for yet another Sadie Hawkins Dance. Car troubles turn what should have been a simple "gig-n-go" into a two-day ordeal. An unexpected encounter with an old teammate puts conflict into motion for Tyler and his friends when they find themselves at the mercy of the local Sheriff and townsfolk who all agree "they'd never seen boys wearing shoes like those before!" With no way out Tyler is forced to face his rival head-on in a climatic showdown.
PLATFORMS is a one of a kind coming-of-age road-trip story with a fun funky vibe making it a timeless classic in the same way the 1970s fashions did for denim, sequins, and high-heeled shoes, "for men"!
