Summary
Three-time National Book Award finalist.
Michael L. Printz Award.
Two Newbery Honors.
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 best-selling 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?

“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 every reader's hands. It's a book for anyone who has ever given thought to our own future and the futures of those coming behind us. Stunning.” (Jacqueline Woodson, National Book Award-winning author of Brown Girl Dreaming)
"A clarion call from a beloved, much-missed master." (Kirkus Reviews, starred)
