Book of the Day: Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

We're excited! We're currently in the process of adding SO MANY new titles to our Book Club in a Box program! One title that I'm particularly excited about is Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz.

Here is the summary from the novel's Goodreads page:
"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 a huge fan of a good coming of age story (or bildungsroman, if you will) and I can't wait to dive into this one! The kit should be available for use within the month!
