Prague, 1989—one spark can set the streets ablaze. Sixteen-year-old Lara Thalberg arrives in a city of secret police, smoky alleyways, and whispers that vanish when the wrong ears draw near. She means to keep her head down—until a haunting street song pulls her into an underground of students and dreamers plotting change. Each hidden meeting, each sketch in her notebook, draws her closer to the truth—and to the danger of being seen. When the marches begin and the streets erupt in chants and smoke, Lara must choose: fade back into safety, or risk everything to stand in the open when history breaks wide. Fast-paced and unforgettable, Streets of Smoke plunges readers into the Velvet Revolution through the eyes of a girl who learns that courage burns brightest when the world grows dark.
