The Sky Over Rebecca | Matthew Fox

2 posts | 2 read

In this breath-taking debut novel, two worlds—and timelines—collide when ten-year-old Kara discovers mysterious footprints in the snow that lead her to another place entirely, perfect for fans of When You Reach Me and Echo. When mysterious footprints appear in the Stockholm snow, ten-year-old Kara attempts to discover where they’ve come from and who they belong to. They lead Kara to Rebecca, a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl, and her younger brother Samuel. Before long Kara realizes Rebecca and Samuel are refugees from another time—World War II—who are trying to find their way home. Kara discovers that her friends are trapped in a time loop, and they must make it to the British plane that lands near their hideout in order to make it out alive. With unexpected help, Kara travels into the time split to help save her friends. Matthew Fox’s lyrical prose—both haunting and uplifting—invites readers into an otherworldly setting grounded in history.

š’™š’š©µ ā€There was a single trail of footprints, the first I‘d seen all morning. Small feet. Like mine. Then they stopped.ā€¯

A beautifully told story with mystery and purposeful serendipity of 2 souls connecting through a fragile ā€time slip‘ amid the nautical twilight of Sweden nights.

Oh man, looks like people have been sleeping on this oneā€¦ wake up, ya‘ll, it‘s good!

Seriously thoughā€¦ The Sky Over Rebecca tells the story of Kara Lukas who helps a Jewish refugee and her brother escape the Nazis. The twist is that Kara lives in modern day Stockholm and the island on Lake Malaren near where she lives, where the refugees are hiding, is like (to use a Sai King term) a Thinny. Not perfect but definitely worth some love.

BC_Dittemore P.S. It is with a melancholy heart that I admit this might be the last middle grade novel I read. Me and my 5th grade daughter started this at the end of the school year. Summer got busy, we never finished it, and now she has started 6th grade. And so I had to finish the book by myself. She says she still wants to read together, but life is busier now. She‘s gonna have more homework, I‘m too exhausted to function at the end of the nightā€¦ 4mo
