Beschreibung

This Printz Honor Book is a "tender, honest exploration of identity” (Publishers Weekly) that distills lyrical truths about family and friendship.

Aristotle is an angry teen with a brother in prison. Dante is a know-it-all who has an unusual way of looking at the world. When the two meet at the swimming pool, they seem to have nothing in common. But as the loners start spending time together, they discover that they share a special friendship—the kind that changes lives and lasts a lifetime. And it is through this friendship that Ari and Dante will learn the most important truths about themselves and the kind of people they want to be.


"I'm absolutely blown away. This is Saenz's best work by far...It's a beautiful story, so beautifully told and so psychologically acute! Both Ari and Dante are simply great characters who will live on in my memory. Everything about the book is absolutely pitch perfect...It's already my favorite book of the year!"

Es ist ein Coming-of-Age-Roman, dessen Fokus auf den Themen Selbstfindung und Familie liegt. Die Charaktere sind absolut liebenswert. Besonders gut gefallen haben mir die Elternfiguren. Sie bieten Aristotle und Dante den nötigen Raum zur freien Entfaltung und zum Erwachsenwerden. Sáenz' Schreibstil ist sehr poetisch und einfühlsam. Für Leute, die Wert auf einen spannenden und schnellen Plot legen, ist dieser Roman m. M. n. eher ungeeignet, da sein Fokus auf dem - teilweise langatmigen - Prozess des Aufwachsens liegt. Ich freue mich schon sehr auf die Fortsetzung :)

Oh, oh, oh. This book. This story. At first glance it may not seem like a lot but it's full of good quotes and just wonderful. I'm not gonna go into the plot, that's what the blurb is for. Just know this: Ari's way of thinking is really nice, and the way it's written fits it perfectly. It's a "simple" coming-of-age story and Ari... Oh, oh, oh. This book. This story.

It's a "simple" coming-of-age story and Ari and Dante share a beautiful relationship that's so precious. This book holds a special place in my heart - it's just so comforting and calm and soft. If you're into these kinds of stories please just give a try.

A wonderful, poetic friendship between two mexican boys in the middle of puberty.

Aristotle, Ari for short, is a boy who's really bad with words. And he can't swim. Until he meet Dante. A poetic boy that has an entirely different view on life than Ari does, but somehow the get along great. At least for the most part.

Until he meet Dante. A poetic boy that has an entirely different view on life than Ari does, but somehow the get along great. At least for the most part. They go through a lot of difficult situations - some alone, some together, while growing a long friendship and perhaps even more. This book is a perfectly written story about family, friendship, forgiveness and what it means to grow up as a queer person in the late 80s.
