Csilla knows the river is magic. During WWII, the river kept her family safe when they needed it most--safe from the Holocaust. But that was before the Communists seized power.

But her carefully laid plans fall to pieces when her parents are unexpectedly, publicly exonerated. As the protests in other countries spur talk of a larger revolution in Hungary, Csilla must decide if she believes in the promise and magic of her deeply flawed country enough to risk her life to help save it, or if she should let it burn to the ground. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith queer representation, fabulist elements, and a pivotal but little-known historical moment, \u003ci\u003eThis Rebel Heart\u003c\/i\u003e is Katherine Locke's tour de force.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKatherine Locke (they\/them) is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Girl with the Red Balloon\u003c\/i\u003e, a 2018 Sydney Taylor Honor Book and 2018 Carolyn W.
