At the Edge of the Universe

ISBN: 978-1-4814-4966-3

        Ozzie has been best friends with Tommy since 2nd grade and has been dating him since 8th. They have spend all of their leisure time together and practically grew up together. One day senior year Tommy goes completely missing and Ozzie freaks out, but the scarier thing is, is that absolutely no one remembers Tommy's existence at all, except for Ozzie. Ozzie can't and won't simply accept that Tommy has disappeared, his reasoning for Tommy's disappearance is that the universe is shrinking. While trying to figure out what happened to Tommy and why the universe is shrinking, Ozzie must also navigate the life of a high school senior.

       One day in Physics class Mrs. Fuentes pairs the class up to build a rollercoaster and Ozzie is paired with Calvin Frye. Calvin used to be your typical high school jock (except was a school genius), who won every wrestling match, but one day quit wrestling started wearing long black clothes, and started sleeping in class. Ozzie wants nothing to do with Calvin, but one night at a club that Ozzie goes to, to support his best friend Lua's band, he sees Calvin and starts a conversation which leads Ozzie to think Calvin may know something about Tommy's disappearance, but refuses to tell him. Later when Ozzie approaches him about it.

      Ozzie realizes Calvin didn't know anything at all, instead Ozzie realizes Calvin has issues, that now Calvin knows and must keep secret. Now these two boys can't deny the connection that has grown between them, but Ozzie must make a huge decision, "wait for Tommy or date Calvin?" also he must determine if the universe is shrinking what can he do if anything to stop it?

  My thoughts: As a 16 year old boy this book is a good attention grabber, it had me throughout the entire book. I do think the author captures the readers attention right away and holds it for most of the book. The ending was not at all what I was expecting I was shocked as to how the author closed the book. Overall the book was a good book and has a lot of promise for YA readers.

210 pages (don't worry, it's a comic)

Hardcover ISBN: 978-0-316-38132-1

Paperback ISBN: 978-0-316-38130-7

    OMG!!! This is the book of books, this is the BEST Y/A book I have ever read. Svetlana Chmakova is a talented writer, page one captured me, like no book has ever done before so let's dive into it.

In this book/ comic a girl named Peppi (Penelope) the "new girl" drops her stuff, and a boy named Jaime decided to help her out. When people in the hall begin yelling, " Nerder found a girlfriend," she pushes him away she changed her "new girl" experience forever. When she tries avoiding him, she realizes THAT'S NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN, because he becomes her tutor, her helper, her savior, and true friend. When in an accident riding her bike, Jamie is at her rescue taking her to his house, and calling her parents. She meets Jaime's parents and his mom tells her that she should really apologize to Jaime. When Peppi finally does, Jaime tells her the most amazing thing I've ever heard, "There are bad people who hurt for fun, and there are people who do it by accident. Like they make a mistake? I think your a good person. You just made a mistake."

Highly Recommend
