A new young adult book from the author of "Boy Meets Boy" telling a series of stories including: two young teens celebrating their first year together, a young girl writing alove songs for a girl she can't have and a young girl in love with Holden Caulfield.
Here's what I know about the realm of possibility— it is always expanding, it is never what you think it is. Everything around us was once deemed impossible. From the airplane overhead to the phones in our pockets to the choir girl putting her arm around the metalhead. As hard as it is for us to see sometimes, we all exist within the realm of possibility. Most of the limits are of our own world's devising. And yet, every day we each do so many things that were once impossible to us.
Enter The Realm of Possibility and meet a boy whose girlfriend is in love with Holden Caulfield; a girl who loves the boy who wears all black; a boy with the perfect body; and a girl who writes love songs for a girl she can't have.
These are just a few of the captivating characters readers will get to know in this intensely heartfelt new novel about those ever-changing moments of love and heartbreak that go hand-in-hand with high school. David Levithan plumbs the depths of teenage emotion to create an amazing array of voices that readers won't forget. So, enter their lives and prepare to welcome the realm of possibility open to us all. Love, joy, and these stories will linger.
The nimble author of The Realm of Possibility is a grown man magically able to inhabit the spirits of a schoolyard full of teenage characters. Levithan's remarkable second young adult novel - after the entirely different but equally dazzling Boy Meets Boy - is the assured work of an emotional chameleon, a sexual changeling, and a physical shape-shifter. The book is presented as a novel-in-verse, but it reads like solid prose: insightful sentences and sentiments detail and define those risky, exuberant moments in the lives of teens when love happens and hearts break. Some of the kids exploring the realm of their possibilities are queer: Jed and Daniel, who "give each other meaning," and Megan, browsing a sex shop with her male friend to buy toys for her girlfriend. Some are straight: Pete bulking up with muscle to be strong for his girlfriend, and Anton, a boy who dresses in black, befriended by a black girl who sings the Gospels. These are just a few of the 20 captivating adolescents whose lives intertwine in this masterful mosaic.
