Publisher's Synopsis

It's the weekend, first in June; speaker's blasting out big tune! Cousins, aunties, uncles, friends, pack the house and fun begins. Shane is shy, but loves to dance - and all year long, he's picked up cans to earn some money toward his goal: high-tops with a pump-up sole. But then the speaker blows - it's done! Will this stop his family's fun? Can Shane come through to save the day and bring back Big Tune Saturday? Set a vibrant Caribbean-American neighbourhood and told to a rhythmic beat, 'Big Tune' is a story of Black-boy joy that touches on determination, the confidence to express who you are, selflessness, and community gratitude.
