The Gravity of Us
Phil Stamper
"I'm
so starry-eyed for this wise, romantic gem of a book." - Becky Albertalli,
bestselling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda
Cal wants to be a journalist, and he's already
well underway with almost half a million followers on his FlashFame app and an
upcoming internship at Buzzfeed. But his plans are derailed when his pilot
father is selected for a highly-publicized NASA mission to Mars. Within days,
Cal and his parents leave Brooklyn for hot and humid Houston.
With the entire nation desperate for any new
information about the astronauts, Cal finds himself thrust in the middle of a
media circus. Suddenly his life is more like a reality TV show, with his
constantly bickering parents struggling with their roles as the "perfect
American family."
And then Cal meets Leon, whose mother is another astronaut on
the mission, and he finds himself falling head over heels--and fast. They become
an oasis for each other amid the craziness of this whole experience. As their
relationship grows, so does the frenzy surrounding the Mars mission, and when
secrets are revealed about ulterior motives of the program, Cal must find a way
to get to the truth without hurting the people who have become most important
to him.
