Synopsis

Romeo and Juliet meets Chinese mythology in this magical novel by the  New York Times  bestselling author of  The Astonishing Color of After. Hunter Yee has perfect aim with a bow and arrow, but all else in his life veers wrong. He’s sick of being haunted by his family’s past mistakes. The only things keeping him from running away are his little brother, a supernatural wind, and the bewitching girl at his new high school. Luna Chang dreads the future. Graduation looms ahead, and her parents’ expectations are stifling. When she begins to break the rules, she finds her life upended by the strange new boy in her class, the arrival of unearthly fireflies, and an ominous crack spreading across the town of Fairbridge. As Hunter and Luna navigate their families’ enmity and secrets, everything around them begins to fall apart. All they can depend on is their love…but time is running out, and fate will have its way. An Arrow to the Moon , Emily X.R. Pan’s brilliant and ethereal follow-up to  The Astonishing Color of After,  is a story about family, love, and the magic and mystery of the moon that connects us all.
