Summary
When Ellie agrees to babysit her cousin Jack during a disco party, she doesn’t expect him to start dancing—and definitely doesn’t expect a talking cockatoo named Ringo to whisk them away to a secret rooftop ball hosted by magical birds. But when the rhythm takes hold and Jack starts to forget he's just a baby, Ellie must find her groove and dance him back to himself before the music never stops.
