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 Nadine from breakdancing?
Are her parents trying to force her to break up with
her boyfriend Sean, a.k.a. Ruckus, a.k.a. the leader
of their crew, Tha Rackit Klub, a.k.a. 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 any respect in Rivercrest, when
everywhere she turns another hater is waiting to smack
her down, her parents only want her to focus on her
grades, and her old friends back home won't even give
her the time of day?
But b-girling is hers. And with the Showdown just months
away, nobody is going to keep her from dancing, no matter
how hard anyone tries.
