The Carnival at Bray meets West Side Story in
Sarah Carlson’s powerful YA debut; set in post-conflict
Belfast (Northern Ireland), alternating between two
teenagers, both trying to understand their past and preserve
their future. Seventeen-year-olds, Fiona and Danny must
choose between their dreams and the people they aspire to be. Fiona and Danny were born in the same hospital. Fiona’s mom
fled with her to the United States when she was two, but,
fourteen years after the Troubles ended, a forty-foot-tall
peace wall still separates her dad’s Catholic neighborhood
from Danny’s Protestant neighborhood. After chance brings Fiona and Danny together, their love of
the band Fading Stars, big dreams, and desire to run away
from their families unites them. Danny and Fiona must help
one another overcome the burden of their parents’ pasts. But
one ugly truth might shatter what they have….
