Description

Jen B''s been surviving at the nightmarishly brutal MLK High School just like everybody else: by following the rules. She avoids the Principal. She doesn''t complain. She''s loyal to her MLK ''family''. And, like 99.5% of the student body, she knows one form or another of martial arts. When Jen''s world-famous Kung-Fu champion of a cousin Jimmy Chang turns up, everyone wants a piece of him - including Ridley, resident drug lord and leader of the school''s most violent gang. They all want to see the legendary martial-arts master defend himself during the school''s merciless initiation ritual. Except that Jimmy''s made a promise never to fight again - a promise that soon leads to the murder of Jen''s brother and a bloody final battle that engulfs the entire school.Fast-paced, gritty and addictive, Kung Fu by Ryan Gattis is an extreme journey into high-school violence and the American Dream that feeds it.
