A book about family history

Keisha's homework was to do a report on a time in America's history and she doesn't know what to write about. Her friends Heather, Megan, Alison and Rose are each writing about their family history. Keisha goes home and digs into her family photo albums with her parents and finds tons of pictures but nothing interesting to write about. She then decides to go to Ellie's attic and tries on a shimmering lavender dress like the ones from her pictures and is transported to Harlem in the 1920's. Her cousin Norma is a reporter and hears that Louis Armstrong is coming to town. When Norma can't "cover it" will Keisha be the one to interview Mr. Armstrong?
