the long version

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.

Only in this novelization of Hairspray, a remake of the 1988 cult-classic movie and the Tony Award–winning Broadway play.
