BACK COVER SUMMARY

ONE DAY THE CHARMING BOOM BOX BOY KNOWN AS BLASTBOY VENTURES OUT OF THE BOOGIE DOWN IN SEARCH OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF MUSIC TO APPRECIATE. WHILE ON HIS QUEST, HE'S DRAWN TO THE MELODIC SOUNDS INSIDE OF JAZZTOPIA, THE HOTTEST JAZZ SPOT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF BEBOPVILLE.

FROM THE MOMENT BLASTBOY ENTERS JAZZTOPIA, HE FINDS HIMSELF IN SEVERAL STICKY SITUATIONS RANGING FROM HAVING HIS HIPPITY-HOPPITY MUSIC BEING REJECTED BY THE CLUB'S GROUCHY OWNER, GRAMPS O' PHONE, TO HAVING TO FIGHT OFF DOOMBOX, THE MEAN AND HUNGRY NEIGHBORHOOD BULLY. THE BIG QUESTION IS, WILL HE FAIL OR PREVAIL IN THE FACE OF THESE ADVERSITIES PLACED IN FRONT OF HIM WHILE IN JAZZTOPIA?

BLASTBOY IS A FANTASTIC YET POWERFUL CHILDREN'S STORY DESIGNED TO RAISE SOCIAL AWARENESS WITH THEMES OF BULLYING, REJECTION, DISCRIMINATION, AND ACCEPTANCE WRITTEN IN A MANNER YOUNG READERS CAN GRASP. MEANWHILE, PARENTS WILL REMINISCE AND ENJOY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE NAMES OF THE RAPPERS AND TITLES OF SONGS THAT ARE HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT ON EACH PAGE.
