Take the DJ Rising reading test
Watch the trailer
DJ Rising is Love Maia's first and only book (so far.) It is about a boy named Marley whose mother is a heroin addict and whose father died a few years prior in a hit-and-run. Marley aspires to be a famous DJ who spins at a popular club named Fever in his town. His reality is that he is a sixteen-year-old student at Ellington Preparatory High School on a scholarship. He works hard at keeping his grades up and acting well so he can get a full scholarship at any college away from his town. One day, his friends set him up to work at a club after the normal DJ breaks his arm, This causes many opportunities to open up for Marley and his life is changed forever.
This book is a fast read, and a very interesting book. I was unsure of how I would feel about this book because it is not a book I would normally gravitate towards. On a scale of 1 to 5, I'd give it a 3.5.
