Booktalk: Aristotle keeps to himself while constantly thinking about his older brother whom his parents and sisters have seem to forgotten. Dante is an only child who isn't afraid to be himself. Aristotle is pensive and is always inside his own head. Dante is eloquent and isn't afraid to express himself creatively. When the two boys meet on a hot summer day at the pool in 1987, neither one of them could imagine the friendship that was about to be born. As their friendship develops so do their desires, but do they desire the same things? A coming of age story between two boys who play by different rules, find out what is to come as Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe.
