Or maybe the alpaca disaster that went viral on YouTube. But the story the whole world wants to tell about Simon is the one he’d do anything to forget: the story in which he’s the only kid in his class who survived a school shooting. Two years after tragedy saddles him with viral fame, twelve-year-old Simon and his family move to Grin And Bear It, Nebraska, where the internet and cell phones are banned so astrophysicists can scan the sky for signs of alien life, and where, with the help of two new friends, a puppy, and a giant radio telescope, Simon plans to restart the narrative of his life. Ages 8-12. Disney Hyperion. Grades 4-6. Disney Hyperion. 20240424. Interstellar communication Juvenile fiction. Psychic trauma Juvenile fiction. School shootings Juvenile fiction.
