AB  - "Simon O'Keeffe tells a lot of stories: Like how his family was driven out of Omaha by alpacas. And how his church-deacon dad accidentally gave a squirrel a holy sacrament. And how his undertaker mom occasionally has to wrangle emus. But the story Simon doesn't tell is the one he'd do anything to forget: Simon is the only survivor of a school shooting. That story has followed him everywhere -- everywhere except his new home in the National Quiet Zone, where the internet is banned so radio astronomers can listen for signs of life in space. Then Simon meets a kid who wants to give the astronomers what they've been looking for... and he finally gets the chance to tell a new story about himself. This is that story. Hilarious, wrenching, and ultimately hopeful, this story is about finding your friends, healing your heart, and speaking your truth." --
