Outrun the Moon

From the author of the critically acclaimed Under a Painted Sky,Â an unforgettable story of determination set against a backdrop of devastating tragedy. Perfect for fans of Code Name Verity.
Â
San Francisco, 1906: Fifteen-year-old Mercy Wong is determined to break from the poverty of Chinatown, and an education at St. Clareâ€™s School for Girls is her best hope. Although St. Clareâ€™s is off-limits to all but the wealthiest white girls, Mercy gains admittance through a mix of cunning and a little bribery, only to discover that getting in was the easiest part. Not to be undone by a bunch of spoiled heiresses, Mercy stands strongâ€”until disaster strikes.

On April 18, a historic earthquake rocks San Francisco, destroying Mercyâ€™s home and school. Now sheâ€™s forced to wait with her classmates for their families in a temporary park encampment. Though fires might rage, and the city may be in shambles, Mercy canâ€™t sit by while they wait for the army to bring helpâ€”she still has the â€œbossyâ€ cheeks that mark her as someone who gets things done. But what can one teenage girl do to heal so many suffering in her broken city?

Stacey Lee masterfully crafts another remarkable novel set against a unique historical backdrop. Strong-willed Mercy Wong leads a cast of diverse characters in this extraordinary tale of survival.
