Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

5.0

How do you understand your family? Your friends? Yourself? Do we really want to know all of their secrets? How about all of our own?
This novel about two teenaged boys who meet at a local pool (one can swim, one cannot) and strike up a friendship is the book I didn't know I needed to read. Thankfully, many fellow teen/YA fans encouraged me to add it to my list. I am grateful I got to see the stories of Aristotle and Dante unfold, and think you will be, too.
Beautiful. Rich. Quiet. Buy a copy of this award-winner so your teens can read it, too.
