(Gr 9+) Into the Dangerous World stars Ror, who was raised in a commune by her father, its leader. When Ror's father burns the commune down with himself inside, she ends up in Manhattan and falls in love with Trey, the leader of graffiti crew Noise Ink. Ror's loyalties are divided between her love of street art and Trey, the wishes of her deceased father, who wanted her to study classic art, and a teacher who encourages her to go to college.
