★ "Vivid, suspenseful, emotionally grounded, and
heartbreaking... essential reading for lovers of historical
fiction." —SLJ, starred review
★ "A breathtaking, affecting work…. The queer characters, gentle
three-way romance and passionate socio-political activism in This
Rebel Heart are likely to strike a recognizable chord for teens of
any era." —Shelf Awareness, starred review
★ "Like Sepetys’ The Fountains of Silence, this will certainly
send readers to research a lesser-known resistance movement and
realize that while it’s easy to judge history in hindsight, it’s
far more difficult, but necessary, to try to make it." —The
Bulletin, starred review
“With its richly drawn characters and gutting depictions of
post-Holocaust trauma and antisemitism, This Rebel Heart is a
grounded, often heartbreaking account of Jewish life under Russian
occupation." —Polygon
"Katherine Locke isn’t a household name—yet. This Rebel Heart could
very well be the book to change that." —BookPage
"History and magic intertwine in a beautifully rendered
Budapest.... Challenging and rewarding." —Kirkus Reviews
"Locke offers an original, moving tribute to the bravery of freedom
fighters—straight and queer, Jewish and gentile—who risked their
lives for their cause." —Publishers Weekly
