Kindred Spirits

A short story about waiting and believing — but mostly waiting — by the New York Times bestselling author of Eleanor & Park, Fangirl and Carry On. All proceeds go to the ACLU Foundation.


When Elena decided to camp out for the next Star Wars movie, she was expecting a celebration, a communion — a line full of people who love Star Wars so much, they have to share it. 


She wasn't expecting this:  a freezing sidewalk, nowhere to pee, and three nights stuck with a boy who decided not to like her before they even met.


It's enough to make a girl leave the line…


But Elena came here for Star Wars, and it will take more than bad weather and a dumb boy to squash her spirits.
