The Sky Over Rebecca

Summary

Two worlds collide in a story written in the stars.
When mysterious footprints appear in the Stockholm snow, Kara attempts to discover where they’ve come from and who they belong to. They lead her to Rebecca, a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl, and her younger brother Samuel.
Before long Kara realizes Rebecca and Samuel are refugees from another era—World War II—trying to find their way to safety. Her new friends are trapped in a dangerous loop, and it’s up to Kara to help them break free.
Matthew Fox’s lyrical prose—both haunting and uplifting—takes readers on an unforgettable journey to a harrowing past.
“A highly atmospheric time-slip adventure with resonant themes of loneliness and courage.”—The Bookseller
