“Funny, poignant and—most important—hopeful.” —New York Times
Simon O’Keeffe’s biggest claim to fame should bethe time his dad accidentally gave a squirrel a holy sacrament. Ormaybe the alpaca disaster that went viral on YouTube. But the story the whole world wants to tell about Simon is the one he’d do anything to forget: the one starring Simon as a famous survivor of gun violence at school.
Two years after the infamous event,twelve-year-old Simon and his family move to the National Quiet Zone—theonly place in America where the internet is banned. Instead of talkingabout Simon, the astronomers who flock to the area are busy listeningfor signs of life in space. And when Simon makes a friend who’sdetermined to give the scientists what they’re looking for, he’llfinally have the chance to spin a new story for the world to tell.
Simon Sort of Says, the Newbery Honor-winning novel by Erin Bow, isa breathtaking testament to the lasting echoes of trauma, theredemptive power of humor, and the courage it takes to move forwardwithout forgetting the past.
