The Cover:
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz
Published: February 21st 2012 by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers
Number of Pages: 359 Pages (Hardcover)

This Printz Honor Book is a “tender, honest exploration of identity” (Publishers Weekly) that distills lyrical truths about family and friendship.
Aristotle is an angry teen with a brother in prison. Dante is a know-it-all who has an unusual way of looking at the world. When the two meet at the swimming pool, they seem to have nothing in common. But as the loners start spending time together, they discover that they share a special friendship—the kind that changes lives and lasts a lifetime. And it is through this friendship that Ari and Dante will learn the most important truths about themselves and the kind of people they want to be. (goodreads.com)
The Reason:
I love this cover and I love this book. There is just so much to love about this cover, be it the gorgeous font, the drawings around the words, the beautiful sky and the way the red of the truck really catches your eye. The second I first lay my eyes on the cover I was in love, still am and forever will be because this definitely is a wonderful example for a cover done more then right!
