Description: Driving by Starlight by Anat Deracine A Publishers' Weekly Flying Start A 2019 CCBC best-of-the-year recommendation by the University of Wisconsin-Madison "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 In Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, "Colored clothes could get you sent to the headmistress's office. Boys got you beheaded." Leena is 16 and her father is in jail. Without a male guardian, she can't go to college, can't marry, can't get a job. As if this isn't bad enough, her best friend seems intent on drawing the attention of the watchful religious police, wearing contraband lingerie and flirting with boys. Leena is going out of her mind, and her only escape is to dress as a boy and drag-race cars at night. Self-destructive, yes. But what other choice is there?
