YA
Ashala Wolf is head of the Tribe, a group of refugees deemed Illegals because of their supernatural abilities. (Ashala can Sleepwalk to make her dreams come true.) She's incarcerated by an evil megalomaniac with a computer that steals memories. Admirable heroine Ashala narrates with an earnest adolescent voice--not quirky or vivid, but responsible, loyal, and wholesome. This futuristic fantasy offers a thought-provoking situation.
