In this debut YA friendship story by Anat Deracine, set in Saudi Arabia, two girls navigate typical teen issues--crushes, college, family expectations, future hopes, and dreams.
Sixteen-year-olds Leena and Mishie are best friends. They delight in small rebellions against the Saudi cultural police--secret Western clothing, forbidden music, flirtations. But Leena wants college, independence--she wants a different life. Though her story is specific to her world (a world where it's illegal for women to drive, where a ten-year-old boy is the natural choice as guardian of a fatherless woman), ultimately it's a story about friendship, family, and freedom that transcends cultural differences. - GODWIN BOOKS - Praise for Driving by Starlight:Leena's commanding voice conveys her desperation, courage, and intellect in a riveting, ultimately exhilarating page-turner. --Publishers Weekly, starred review The fast-paced narrative and unexpected twists make for an engaging yet educational novel with a powerful message about the complexities of being a woman in a man's world. --Kirkus Reviews, starred review
