Simon Sort of Says , the Newbery Honor-winning novel by Erin Bow, is a breathtaking testament to the lasting echoes of trauma, the redemptive power of humor, and the courage it takes to move forward without forgetting the past.
And when Simon makes a friend who\'s determined to give the scientists what they\'re looking for, he\'ll finally have the chance to spin a new story for the world to tell.
Instead of talking about Simon, the astronomers who flock to the area are busy listening for signs of life in space.
Two years after the infamous event, twelve-year-old Simon and his family move to the National Quiet Zone--the only place in America where the internet is banned.
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.
Or maybe the alpaca disaster that went viral on YouTube. -- New York Times Simon O\'Keeffe\'s biggest claim to fame should be the time his dad accidentally gave a squirrel a holy sacrament.
