Beschreibung

Three stories of speaking up and coming out converge in one epic confrontation as parents lobby to ban a book from the middle school curriculum in New York Times-bestselling author David Levithan's explosive new novel. Donovan didn't mean for this to happen. When he left his book on the counter, he didn't think he mom would read it—much less have a problem with it. It's just an adventure novel! ...Right? But before Donovan even has the chance to hear her point of view, his mom is calling other parents of his classmates. She's setting up meetings with the principal. She's trying to get the book removed from the district curriculum. Donovan doesn't really know if the two boys fall in love at the end or not—but he does know even if they do, the book shouldn't be banned from school. Interspersed with this thread, readers will experience chapters of the banned book itself—and the coming out and first love story of its author. With epic feelings and his signature panache, David Levithan delivers a brilliantly crafted story of three kids standing at crossroads. What do you do when you disagree with the adults calling the shots? How do you raise your voice and fight back?

I just loved this book! I think it single-handedly cured my inner child. I cried twice while reading this book. Which isn't a lot, but considering that there isn't really anything tragic happening that is a lot. For anyone wondering I cried because of SPOILER: '"Thank you, Gideon," Bright said. Thank you, Roberto," Mr. Howe replied.' And because of: '"Write something about me someday," Gideon said. Roberto smiled and said, "I just might." (He did.)' This book is just the cutest book I have ever read and I love that even though it dealt with that, it has kept the amount of homophobia to a minimum. I also love that all of the students were supportive and there was noone in the younger generation who wasn't. I only have one question. Can someone explain to me why almost all of the friendship groups we know of has a 2 boys, 1 girl ratio? Is there something magic about that constellation? Or did the author just try to include girls and this was just the bare minimum he could get himself to do? Because those girls don't really have a relevance for the story either... Anyhow, I really enjoyed the book and I'm sure I'm just reading too much into it.

Wirklich großartig! 🏳️‍🌈💛

Das Buch ist wirklich großartig und gerade auch mit Blick auf den Inhalt sehr empfehlenswert für jüngere Klassen im Unterricht zu behandeln. Ein Buch über eine Liebesgeschichte, dir einfach herzzerreißend ist, ein Abenteuer und einer Klasse, die weiß, was sie will und ungerecht LGBTQ+ von ihren Eltern behandelt werden. 🏳️‍🌈💛

Made me tear up multiple times. Lived the structure it was told in! Had me hooked from page one.
