Guys. Guys I NEED to talk to you about this amazing book by a local Tulsa author. It's so good, with twists and turns and an ending that kept me guessing until right before the end. I LOVED how little pieces were tied together. The writing style was different and I loved the very distinct voices of the two narrators. I'm so glad that this subject and unfortunate part of Tulsa's history is getting more attention.

I thought I'd like this book but I completely fell in love the further I got into it.The writing is really solid and the two POVs balance out really nicely. I wasn't thinking too deeply about the mystery aspect at first, but as things heated up in William's story I was practically reading the book through my fingers, I was so anxious!

The dead always have stories to tell. They just need the living to listen.Some bodies wont stay buried. Some stories need to be told."The lives that ended that night mattered.

Otherwise it loops past the same mistakes over and over again. review: Dreamland Burning is a vibrant, modern told story about the Tulsa race riot.I steer away from historical fiction because history bores me. The historical story needs to POP at me or I don't see it. But Dreamland Burning accomplished that for me. I

You know it's a good book when I skip fireworks to finish.I resisted liking this book, primarily because I thought it was YA, and I don't generally enjoy YA books. This is YA only because the protagonists--it's a story told in two parts, present and past--are both 17. The situations they face are adult-not sexual, but definitely grown-up. The story opens with Rowan, the 17-yo daughter of two busy professional parents living in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It's summer vacation, and mom has set her up with a
