Visionary. This book should be in every reader’s
hands. -JACQUELINE WOODSON, National Book Award-winning author of Brown
Girl Dreaming
Young heroes decide that they are not too young or too powerless to change
their world in this gripping, futuristic young adult novel by the New York
Times bestselling author of the Printz Award-winning Monster.
It is 2035. Teens, armed only with their ideals, must wage war on the power
elite.
Dahlia is a Low Gater: a sheep in a storm, struggling to survive completely
on her own. The Gaters live in closed safe communities, protected from the Sturmers,
mercenary thugs. And the C-8, a consortium of giant companies, control global
access to finance, media, food, water, and energy resources-and they are only
getting bigger and even more cutthroat. Dahlia, a computer whiz, joins forces
with an ex-rocker, an ex-con, a chess prodigy, an ex-athlete, and a soldier
wannabe. Their goal: to sabotage the C-8. But how will Sayeed, warlord and
terrorist, fit into the equation?

Praise for ON A CLEAR DAY:
Walter Dean Myers was such a visionary. On a Clear Day is at once
historical and futuristic, thoughtful and thought-provoking. It should be in

* A clarion call from a beloved, much-missed master. -Kirkus
Reviews, Starred
In his last book, Myers has turned his thoughtful attention to
matters of pressing global importance and issued an implicit challenge to his
teen readers to become involved and make a difference. It makes for a
stirring valedictory. -Booklist
Published posthumously, this is an angry story, demonstrating again
Myers’s acute social conscience. -Horn Book
Worth serious YA consideration. -The Bulletin of the Center for
Children’s Books
