“Messily human and sincerely insightful.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
The highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed, multiple award-winning novel Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe is an “emotional roller coaster” (School Library Journal, starred review) sure to captivate fans of Adam Silvera and Mary H.K. Choi.
In Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, two boys in a border town fell in love. Now, they must discover what it means to stay in love and build a relationship in a world that seems to challenge their very existence.
Ari has spent all of high school burying who he really is, staying silent and invisible. He expected his senior year to be the same. But something in him cracked open when he fell in love with Dante, and he can’t go back. Suddenly he finds himself reaching out to new friends, standing up to bullies of all kinds, and making his voice heard. And, always, there is Dante, dreamy, witty Dante, who can get on Ari’s nerves and fill him with desire all at once.
The boys are determined to forge a path for themselves in a world that doesn’t understand them. But when Ari is faced with a shocking loss, he’ll have to fight like never before to create a life that is truthfully, joyfully his own.

Ahora hace cosas que jamás pensó: tiene nuevos amigos, confronta a cualquier tipo de bully y no se queda callado ante nada. Y siempre a su lado está el soñador y perspicaz Dante, quien lo mismo consigue sacarlo de quicio que hacerlo suspirar.
Los chicos están decididos a abrirse camino en un mundo que no los entiende, pero cuando Ari sufre una repentina y devastadora pérdida, sabe que deberá luchar como nunca para lograr la vida plena y feliz que siempre soñó.
LA ESPERADA SECUELA DEL FENÓMENO LITERARIO QUE CAPTURÓ EL CORAZÓN DE MILES DE LECTORES
"Sentimental and ferocious, upsetting and tender, firmly magic-realist yet utterly modern. . . Sáenz is a writer with greatness in him." —San Diego Union Tribune
With Carry Me Like Water, Benjamin Alire Sáenz unfolds a beautiful story about hope and forgiveness, unexpected reunions, an expanded definition of family, and, ultimately, what happens when the disparate worlds of pain and privilege collide.
Diego, a deaf-mute, is barely surviving on the border in El Paso, Texas. Diego's sister, Helen, who lives with her husband in the posh suburbs of San Francisco, long ago abandoned both her brother and her El Paso roots. Helen's best friend, Lizzie, a nurse in an AIDS ward, begins to uncover her own buried past after a mystical encounter with a patient.
This immensely moving novel confronts divisions of race, gender, and class, fusing together the stories of people who come to recognize one another from former lives they didn't know existed— or that they tried to forget.
DANTE SA NUOTARE. ARI NO. Dante è colto e sicuro di sé. Ari non conosce abbastanza parole. Dante si perde pensando all'arte e alla poesia. Ari si perde pensando al fratello maggiore in carcere. Tutto farebbe pensare che un ragazzo come Dante, che ha davanti a sé la prospettiva di una vita eccezionale, sia l'ultima persona in grado di rompere il muro che Ari si è costruito attorno.
Ma quando si incontrano, Dante e Ari legano subito. Condividono libri, pensieri, sogni, risate. Imparano l'uno dall'altro nuove parole e iniziano a ridisegnare i confini dei loro mondi. Soprattutto, scoprono che l'universo è un posto enorme e difficile.
La storia di due ragazzi, Ari e Dante, che devono imparare a credere l'uno nell'altro e nel loro legame, se vogliono diventare adulti. In una narrazione che arriva dritto al cuore, Benjamin Alire Sáenz cattura quei momenti che fanno di un ragazzo un uomo, mentre esplora temi come la lealtà e la fiducia, l'amicizia e l'amore.
Sal used to know his place with his adoptive gay father, their loving Mexican American family, and his best friend, Samantha. But it’s senior year, and suddenly Sal is throwing punches, questioning everything, and realizing he no longer knows himself. If Sal’s not who he thought he was, who is he?

Coming-of-Age-Roman über eine tiefe Freundschaft und die Liebe ab 14 Jahren.
Dante kann schwimmen. Ari nicht. Dante kann sich ausdrücken und ist selbstsicher. Ari fallen Worte schwer und er leidet an Selbstzweifeln. Dante geht auf in Poesie und Kunst. Ari verliert sich in Gedanken über seinen älteren Bruder, der im Gefängnis sitzt. Mit seiner offenen und einzigartigen Lebensansicht schafft es Dante, die Mauern einzureißen, die Ari um sich herum gebaut hat. Ari und Dante werden Freunde. Sie teilen Bücher, Gedanken, Träume und lachen gemeinsam. Sie beginnen die Welt des jeweils anderen neu zu definieren. Und entdecken, dass das Universum ein großer und komplizierter Ort ist, an dem manchmal auch erhebliche Hindernisse überwunden werden müssen, um glücklich zu werden!
In atemberaubender Prosa erzählt Sáenz die Geschichte zweier Jungen, die Loyalität, Freundschaft, Vertrauen, Liebe – und andere kleine und große Geheimnisse des Universums entdecken.
Ramiro Lopez and Jake Upthegrove don't appear to have much in common. Ram lives in the Mexican-American working-class barrio of El Paso called "Dizzy Land." His brother is sinking into a world of drugs, wreaking havoc in their household. Jake is a rich West Side white boy who has developed a problem managing his anger. An only child, he is a misfit in his mother's shallow and materialistic world. But Ram and Jake do have one thing in common: They are lost boys who have never met their fathers. This sad fact has left both of them undeniably scarred and obsessed with the men who abandoned them. As Jake and Ram overcome their suspicions of each other, they begin to move away from their loner existences and realize that they are capable of reaching out beyond their wounds and the neighborhoods that they grew up in. Their friendship becomes a healing in a world of hurt.
