Under the Same Stars

'The legendary Libba Bray writes punk rock journeys across wide swaths of dark history and deep into the wonder of the human soul. She is one of our most original minds and Under the Same Stars will leave you shattered and wildly hopeful' - E. Lockhart, author of WE WERE LIARS and GENUINE FRAUD

'Libba Bray is magic. There is simply no other conclusion to be drawn after reading the stunningly ambitious and brilliantly crafted, Under the Same Stars. Weaving together three different timelines, Bray's gorgeous prose and propulsive plotting draw the reader into the lives of young people who are fighting for their communities and themselves and you'll want to fight right alongside them. Bray's talent for writing magnificently detailed personal stories against the backdrop of political and social upheaval is a gift to readers and makes plain for all that leading with love is punk as hell, that building community is resistance and that living your truth is successful rebellion. Under the Same Stars is stirring and absolutely unforgettable' - Samira Ahmed, New York Times bestselling author of INTERNMENT and HOLLOW FIRES

'[An] inspiring historical mystery... Bray's intimate third-person narrative kaleidoscopes back and forth in time, interweaving the three story lines and highlighting their internal resonance' - Publishers Weekly

'Under the Same Stars is both a sweeping epic tale of young people in three very different eras grappling with what it means to fight injustice, and a stark reminder that past is prologue. It's also a Libba Bray book, meaning it's full of banter, romance, humour and a little bit of magic' - Gayle Forman, author of Not Nothing and After Life

'Immersive... Bray emphasizes how much we're connected, offering a powerful depiction of transformative storytelling as an act of resistance and a harbinger of the future... a breathtaking journey that will leave a lasting impression on readers' minds and hearts' - Kirkus Reviews, starred review

'Ms. Bray's abundance of timelines and characters offers willing readers ages 12 to 18 different entry points into what is essentially one story: How we awaken to injustice around us and how we're called to act afterward' - Wall Street Journal

'Masterful, heart-wrenching...Readers will come away motivated to be fully present, completely themselves, and to believe that courageous action matters. Because we all?past, present, and future?live under the same stars' - Booklist
