Summary from Backcover:

LEAP FOR THE STARS

It's 1978, and Sam has leaped into Noah Ellman, son to Gerda Ellman. Gerda, a former borscht-belt dancer, is just days away from fulfilling her dreams of stardom. If Sam can make sure that his partner Marty shows up for the "You Can Be a Star" talent search.

But Sam has other ideas about the reason for the Leap. Noah is a man woefully lacking in self-confidence. His new employer, Rebecca Wexler, is a young woman hiding a terrible secret.

Al's having trouble keeping Sam focused on the search for the deadbeat dancer. And he's getting no help from Ziggy, who has "gone on strike."

For Ziggy knows something that neither Leaper nor Observer has yet discovered - "Marty" will turn out to be a familiar face. And changing his life for the better could change the Project for worse ...

Excerpt:

"You gonna eat it or paint a picture of it?"

The world-weary tone of the voice did nothing to make Sam want to rise out of the warmth of his cocoon and rejoin the land of the living. Moments ago, he'd been pure energy, drifting in a field of blue. Now that blue was betraying him, dissipating around his form quicker than he could say -

"Huh?"

"Stop giving me that dopey look. Are you gonna eat it or ..."

By this time, Sam Beckett figured he should have had Leaping-in down to a science. Rule of thump : if being spoken to at the time of arrival, give an immediate, coherent response. And if you don't succeed the first time, try, try again ...

"Uh .." was the best he could do.
