Walt Breville, a retired postman, has written a charming story about an 8th grade class interested in music--Revolutionary Rhythm Kids. It is the conservative era of music in the early 1950s. A class of 25 8th graders in rural Florida are talented dancers and singers seeking livlier tunes. They get more than they barganed for when they hike through the wilds to a scientist's labortory, time travel to the hot jazzera of 1929 to get filmed in a musical. It is all very exciting, although the boys don't care much for their knickers. Encounters with dngerous animals, strange creatures, flying saucers, and malfunction of the time machine makes it doubtful they'll return home safely. They become part of an alien plan to cool the Cold War.
