Kung Fu

In a brutal high school where martial arts and violence reign supreme, one girl must choose between loyalty and survival. At the nightmarishly ruthless MLK High School, Jen B has been following the rules to stay alive, just like everybody else. She avoids the principal, doesn''t complain, and remains loyal to her MLK ''family''. Like 99.5% of the student body, she''s skilled in martial arts. But when Jen''s world-famous kung fu champion cousin Jimmy Chang arrives, everything changes. Ridley, the school''s resident drug lord and leader of its most vicious gang, wants to see the legendary martial artist defend himself during MLK''s merciless initiation ritual. The only problem? Jimmy has vowed never to fight again. This promise leads to the murder of Jen''s brother and ignites a bloody final battle that engulfs the entire school. In Kung Fu , Ryan Gattis delivers a fast-paced, gritty, and addictive tale that explores the depths of high-school violence and the American Dream that fuels it.
