The Funk City Chronicles is a book about science-fiction breakdance battles!
"It’s like Step Up meets Blade Runner meets Star Trek meets The Hunger Games."
Welcome to Funk City, the dopest place in the galaxy. Founded in 2793 by The Corporate Empire, Funk City is one of the crowning achievements of the Hip-Hop Gospel, and—with the blessing of the Rap Gods—the city has known an era of peace under the leadership of the Kommissioners of Breakin and the Writer’s Council.
But little do they know, The Corporate Empire has corrupted the Gospel, twisting it into something more… profitable. When a mysterious force descends upon the city, it will be up to a ragtag group of heroes—a krewless breakdancer, a disgraced monk, an incomplete robot, a malfunctioning cyborg, and a faithful member of Funk City’s graffiti matriarchy—to save the day.
"This is hands-down the most interesting, quirky book I’ve ever read. The plot itself is just so out-there and it has an oddly satisfying balance between taking itself seriously and being a bit ridiculous."
"...it had me smiling, laughing, and cheering for the underdogs! (4.5 stars)"
