Publisher Description:

In New York Times bestselling author Walter Dean Myers's final novel, he delivers a gripping story based on the life of a real dancer known as "Master Juba," who lived in the nineteenth century.

This engaging historical novel follows the meteoric rise of an immensely talented young black dancer, William Henry Lane, who influenced today's tap, jazz dance, and step. With meticulous and intensive research, Walter Dean Myers has brought to life Juba's story.

The novel includes photographs, maps, and other images from Juba's time, as well as an afterword from Walter Dean Myers's wife, Constance Myers, about the writing process of Juba
