HTML:<b>"Visionary. This book should be in every reader's hands." –JACQUELINE WOODSON, National Book Award-winning author of <i>Brown Girl Dreaming</i></b><br /> <b>Young heroes decide that they are not too young or too powerless to change their world in this gripping, futuristic young adult novel by the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of the Printz Award–winning <i>Monster</i>.</b><br />  <br /> It is 2035. Teens, armed only with their ideals, must wage war on the power elite.<br />  <br /> Dahlia is a Low Gater: a sheep in a storm, struggling to survive completely on her own. The Gaters live in closed safe communities, protected from the Sturmers, mercenary thugs. And the C-8, a consortium of giant companies, control global access to finance, media, food, water, and energy resources—and they are only getting bigger and even more cutthroat. Dahlia, a computer whiz, joins forces with an ex-rocker, an ex-con, a chess prodigy, an ex-athlete, and a soldier wannabe. Their goal: to sabotage the C-8. But how will Sayeed, warlord and terrorist, fit into the equation?<br />  <br /> <b>AWARDS FOR WALTER DEAN MYERS:</b><br /> <i>New York Times</i> Bestselling Author<br /> 3-Time National Book Award Finalist<br /> Michael L. Printz Award<br /> 5 Coretta Scott King Awards<br /> 2 Newbery Honors<br /> National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature (2012-2013)<br /> Margaret A. Edwards Award for Lifetime Achievement<br /> Children’s Literature Legacy Award<br /> <b>Praise for ON A CLEAR DAY:<br /></b><br /> “Walter Dean Myers was such a visionary. On a Clear Day is at once historical and futuristic, thoughtful and thought-provoking. It should be in every reader's hands. It's a book for anyone who has ever given thought to our own future and the futures of those coming behind us. Stunning.” –<b>JACQUELINE WOODSON</b>, National Book Award-winning author of <i>Brown Girl Dreaming</i><br /> *"A clarion call from a beloved, much-missed master." –<b><i>Kirkus Reviews</i>, Starred </b><br /> "In his last book, Myers has turned his thoughtful attention to matters of pressing global importance and issued an implicit challenge to his teen readers to become involved and make a difference. It makes for a stirring valedictory." –<i>Booklist</i> <br /> "Published posthumously, this is an angry story, demonstrating again Myers's acute social conscience." –<i>Horn Book </i><br /> "Worth serious YA consideration." –The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books.
