Welcome to the worst day of Nadine “Lady Six Sky” Durant’s life. Just as she’s getting used to the idea of a new baby sister squeezing her out of her family, her parents drop the REAL bomb— they’re moving out of Parkdale, the downtown neighborhood they’ve always called home, to cheesy Rivercrest, a million miles away in the middle of nowhere.
Is this a conspiracy to keep her from breakdancing? Are they trying to force her to break up with her boyfriend Sean, aka Ruckus, the leader of their crew, Tha Rackit Klub, aka the sickest crew in all of Toronto? And just when they finally had a shot at the Hogtown Showdown, the biggest b-boy battle in town!
How’s she going to get respect in Rivercrest, when everywhere she turns another hater is waiting to smack her down, her parents only want her focused on her grades, and her friends back home won’t even give her the time of day? Do they really think this place is going to change her?
But b-girling is hers. No one can take that. And with the Throwdown just months away, nothing is going to keep Nadine from dancing, no matter how hard anyone tries.
