It’s 1962 and Baltimore’s Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart, has only one passion—to dance. She wins a spot on the local TV dance program The Corny Collins Show and, overnight, is transformed from outsider to teen celebrity. But can this newcomer beat out the show’s pretty but mean star, win the heart of heartthrob Link Larkin, and integrate a television show without denting her ’do? Only in this novelization of Hairspray, a remake of the 1988 cult-classic movie and the Tony Award–winning Broadway play.
