Reviews

★ "Vivid, suspenseful, emotionally grounded, and heartbreaking... essential reading for lovers of historical fiction." --SLJ, starred review

★ "A breathtaking, affecting work.... The queer characters, gentle three-way romance and passionate socio-political activism in This Rebel Heart are likely to strike a recognizable chord for teens of any era." --Shelf Awareness, starred review

★ "Like Sepetys' The Fountains of Silence, this will certainly send readers to research a lesser-known resistance movement and realize that while it's easy to judge history in hindsight, it's far more difficult, but necessary, to try to make it." --The Bulletin, starred review

"With its richly drawn characters and gutting depictions of post-Holocaust trauma and antisemitism, This Rebel Heart is a grounded, often heartbreaking account of Jewish life under Russian occupation." --Polygon

"Katherine Locke isn't a household name--yet. This Rebel Heart could very well be the book to change that." --BookPage

"History and magic intertwine in a beautifully rendered Budapest.... Challenging and rewarding." --Kirkus Reviews

"Locke offers an original, moving tribute to the bravery of freedom fighters--straight and queer, Jewish and gentile--who risked their lives for their cause." --Publishers Weekly
