Once upon a time in the 6ix

Teenagers Tavy and her best friend Jayvon decide to disobey their parents' strict rules to go take part in the annual Toronto Caribbean Festival for the first time ever. Their goal? Crossing the stage before Tavy's work archenemy Denise, so as to win a bet that seems to be more about pride than money. However, during their rollercoaster journey on the parade route, the two friends quickly end up facing more hurdles than what they had initially planned for... Will it all be worth it at the end?
Written as an ode to the city of Toronto, "Once upon a time in the 6ix" is a sweet novella that contains just the right blend of modern fairy tale, romance and suspense... infused with some awesome Afro-Caribbean music!
