YA
After a car accident, her mother whisks seventeen-year-old Shelby from the hospital for a road trip with the revelation that her father isn't really dead. Shelby has her own reveal: "BTW, I'm deaf." And then there's "the Dreaming," an alternate reality tinged with fairy tales and American Indian mythology that Shelby visits while asleep. This hallucinatory, kaleidoscopic novel's nuanced themes are eminently discussable.
