“My
mother and father held hands.
I
wonder what that was like, to hold someone’s hand.
I
bet you could sometimes find all
of the mysteries in the universe
in
someone’s hand.”
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the
Universe tells a story about Dante, an angry, loner teenage boy who meets Dante, another
loner, but also a know-it-all teenage boy. When they first meet each other at a
swimming pool, they seem to have nothing in common. But as they spend the whole
summer together, they discover that they share a special kind of friendship—the
kind of friendship that changes lives and lasts a lifetime. And through their
friendship, Ari and Dante will learn the truth and secrets about themselves,
and about the kind of people they want to be.
