Dealing in Dreams

By: Lilliam Rivera

Narrated by: Marisol Ramirez

The Outsiders meets Mad Max: Fury Road in this fast-paced dystopian novel about sisterhood and the cruel choices people are forced to make in order to survive.

At night, Las Mal Criadas own these streets. Sixteen-year-old Nalah leads the fiercest all-girl crew in Mega City. That role brings with it violent throwdowns and access to the hottest "boydega" clubs, but Nala quickly grows weary of her questionable lifestyle. Her dream is to get off the streets and make a home in the exclusive Mega Towers, in which only a chosen few get to live.

To make it to the Mega Towers, Nalah must prove her loyalty to the city's benevolent founder and cross the border in a search of the mysterious gang the Ashe Riders. Led by a reluctant guide, Nalah battles crews and her own doubts, but the closer she gets to her goal, the more she loses sight of everything - and everyone - she cares about.

Nalah must choose whether or not she's willing to do the unspeakable to get what she wants. Can she discover home is not where you live but whom you chose to protect before she loses the family she's created for good?

Good Read

I enjoyed the journey of Chief Rocka discovering her identity and family history. Definitely recommend if you enjoy an easy read for dystopian stories.

Entertaining and Thought-provoking

Lilliam Rivera wrote an excellent YA novel wirh a main character I could really feel in Chief Rocka. I hope the author is working on a follow-up. I want more!
