Razz A Ma Tazz G L Gracie

Charleston, flappers and razz-a-ma-tazz become the setting for this heartwarming tale of teenagers in the summer of 1926. Freedom abounds with short skirts, women getting the vote, the era of automobiles, wild dancing and a new kind of syncopated music called ragtime. With prohibition in full swing, illegal liquor traffic is a major issue for the small town of Buffington. Buff Buffington and Stuart Billings undertake the job of solving a speakeasy murder while Wally Duff, the local minister's son, comes to terms with first love. Prejudice and corruption cast a shadow over the summer. Rich characterizations bring this story to life in a charming and sensitive manner.
