(4) YA Readers are immersed in the world of gambling, as three protagonists join forces to try and beat the system. Each has a different motivation: Sanjay strives for notoriety, Kat longs for escape, and possibly-psychic Jerrica searches for order in the universe. Their stories interlace to form a compelling, though metaphor-heavy, narrative exploring the temptation and futility of finding an easy way out.
