ONE BRAVE-HEARTED BOY ... ONE DREAMY-EYED GIRL ... DARE AGAINST ALL ODDS TO BE FRIENDS. The Township is big on threats and punishment, forbidding all gatherings and beauty, except at the annual Celebration Day. On that day, gripped by wonder and loyalty, Samuri hears the motto “a safe, long life for all.” Yes, he will keep folks safe when he’s old enough, or maybe sooner. Jewel breaks out after years locked inside. Samuri comes around the corner just in time to see her barefooted in the dirt, gazing upward. She is a stunning sight, but alone, and too near the danger of the woods. Though Samuri knows nothing about friendship or the laws against it, his heart vows to protect her. Their friendship is lived in whispers and shadows, playing cautiously right up to the day they are forced to join task crews. Neither of them is ready for the successes and failures that come to separate them. Their friendship seems doomed… until an unexpected assignment together propels them into the dangers and wonders of the woods and its hidden truths. "Samuri and Jewel touches on a lot of deep things in my heart and in the world. I don't want it to end." -ELLY, 15-year-old reader "Kimily has created such an interesting world! I love the characters, the outdoor scenes, the humor and repeat-worthy scenes." -M. E. DUFFIELD, author of the OLAYIA SERIES
