Description
Outrun the Moon by Stacey Lee is a powerful and moving story set against the devastating backdrop of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Fifteen-year-old Mercy Wong's determination to break free from poverty in Chinatown, San Francisco, drives her to secure an education at St. Clare's School for Girls, despite its exclusivity to wealthy white girls. When disaster strikes on April 18, Mercy finds herself forced to wait with her classmates in a temporary park encampment, amidst fires and destruction. Mercy's courage and resilience are tested as she navigates the challenges of her new surroundings and seeks ways to help those suffering in her broken city.
