Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe introduces Ari, an angry loner with a brother in prison, and Dante, a know-it-all with an unusual outlook. When the two meet at a pool, they seem to share nothing in common, yet a friendship blossoms that changes both their lives. The sequel, Aristotle and Dante Dive Into the Waters of the World, follows Ari into senior year, still hiding who he is, until falling in love with Dante gives him courage to reach out, stand up to bullies and make his voice heard, even as loss tests everything he holds dear. The Inexplicable Logic of My Life turns to Salvador "Sal" Silva, who has always known his place within his adoptive Mexican American family — until senior year turns his sense of self upside down, and he must work out who he wants to become. Together, these three novels showcase Sáenz's poetic prose and his gift for capturing the beauty and resilience of adolescence..
