Daz 4 Zoe portrapys a dystopian future where London is a walled city barricaded against the poor, homeless, and hungry. The story is a split first person narrative of Daz,a boy who lives rough, and Zoe, an upper class girl quite ignorant of how people live outside the city. Daz's narrative is initially hard to read because it is in an uneducated teen dialect, but you do get used to it. Even though this is speculative fiction, it's not too hard to imagine this future possiblity. Of course Daz and Zoe meet, that's what starts the conflict, so you have both Daz and Zoe learning about their very different worlds.

It may be a challenge at first to underdstand Daz's dialect at first, but it's well worth the effort!
