Young adult novel about trust, loyalty, friendship and love.
Dante can swim, Ari can't. Dante is self-confident, knows how to express his own thoughts and is not afraid to do so. Arya finds it difficult to find words, and he is also torn by self-doubt. Dante thinks a lot about poetry and painting. Ari thinks a lot about his older brother, who is sitting. It would seem that Dante with his unique vision of this world is the last among those who could break through the wall that Ari built around himself.
However, their paths accidentally cross and then intertwine. The boys read together, reason aloud, dream, laugh. They teach each other new words and begin to rethink existence. And together they find out that the universe is a huge and complex thing.
The master of the artistic word, novelist Benjamin Alire Saenz insightfully depicts the story of two boys on the path of growing up and learning about themselves. The events of the book take place in the late 80s in El Paso, Texas, near the US-Mexico border.
