In Simon's version of the story, a blessing of the animals went sideways, his dad got fired from his church job, and the whole family moved to the National Quiet Zone, where the internet and cell phones are banned and astronomers scan the sky for signs of alien life.

And sure, that's all true. But there's another story, too--a story about a locked classroom, an active shooter, and a media cycle that refuses to let Simon go, even years later.

But Simon doesn't want to be known for that story. He just wants to be Simon: a twelve-year-old in high-tops and a Minecraft hoodie whose biggest claim to fame is that time his dad accidentally gave a squirrel a holy sacrament.

Moving to the last town in America where no one can Google you is a chance for Simon to start fresh. To rewrite the narrative. And with the help of two new friends, a service puppy in training, and a giant radio telescope, he's determined to say something new.

From award-winning author Erin Bow comes a hilarious, wrenching, and ultimately hopeful novel about finding your friends, healing your heart, and speaking your truth.
