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.
"Aristóteles es introvertido y tímido. Dante es transparente y expresivo. Por motivos que parecen escapar a toda razón, estos dos chicos de diecisiete años se encuentran y construyen una amistad entrañable que les permitirá redefinir el mundo del otro y aprender a creer en ellos mismos para descubrir los secretos del universo. El escritor multipremiado, Benjamín Alire Saenz, explora la lealtad y la confianza entre dos jóvenes que están aprendiendo a ser adultos en un escenario fronterizo tan mexicano como estadounidense. Juntos deberán crecer al mismo tiempo en que se adaptan a una sociedad que también esta búsqueda, identidad."--gandhi.com.mx
