I'm not sure, but Amazon does international shipping. You might be able to find it there! Here's a link (:
Hopefully this link works. It's the art shown for the paperback version on Amazon.
<em>Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe</em>. One of the most beautiful coming-of-age novels I've ever had the honor to experience.
hai kathryn u reminded me of a book!
Turtles All the Way Down Is a beautiful, well-written and accurate description of a teen girl struggling with OCD.
There's a series about these two young girls at a boarding school who open a "detective agency" and try to solve murders. It's a series. The first book is called Murder is Bad Manners
Very entertaining and really nothing to do with romantic relationships.
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz is one of my all time favorite books of any genre.
More Happy Than Not by Adam Silvera is pretty unique. It's not as black and white in its storytelling as most teen fiction. It's kind of intense and uncomfortable at times, but it's also a quick fun read.
So I'm wanting to get into the Haruhi light novels (amazon link) but I heard the translation isn't very good. Is it worth spending the money or should I just get them from somewhere else (illegally)?
Thanks for the links.
I just checked on Amazon, and they DO HAVE THE BOOKS, this one is the light novel, while the one on BP, is the Mangas.
I ain't a manga person, I only buy Light Novels.. as of now that is :P
I mean, you could argue that A Brave New World kind of eluded to it in a way. You could also see the beginnings of social with creations like Max Headroom. You could also kind of see social as part of tons of scifi in the sense that people know where you are and what you are doing. My phone automatically checks me in to certain places and I have tracking on for my family so they know where I am.
For more contemporary scifi, The Uglies is a young adult series from like 2006ish??? that really nailed social before social was a huge boom.

From Booklist When Aristotle and Dante meet, in the summer of 1987, they are 15-year-olds existing in “the universe between boys and men.” The two are opposites in most ways: Dante is sure of his place in the world, while Ari feels he may never know who he is or what he wants. But both are thoughtful about their feelings and interactions with others, and this title is primarily focused on the back-and-forth in their relationship over the course of a year. Family issues take center stage, as well as issues of Mexican identity, but the heart of the novel is Dante’s openness about his homosexuality and Ari’s suppression of his. Sáenz (Sammy and Juliana in Hollywood, 2004) writes toward the end of the novel that “to be careful with people and words was a rare and beautiful thing.” And that’s exactly what Sáenz does—he treats his characters carefully, giving them space and time to find their place in the world, and to find each other. This moves at a slower pace than many YA novels, but patient readers, and those struggling with their own sexuality, may find it to be a thought-provoking read. Grades 9-12. --Ann Kelley
This would be the first LN then right?
Hopefully this will be the last question :P
While it's a nice gesture, your selection of books might have the opposite effect and turn her off sci-fi forever. If someone is "curios" about getting into something, you probably shouldn't start with the classics. It should probably start with lighter fare and more pop modern sci-fi. Especially seeing (from your other comments) that she is 12 years old and likes Harry Potter and Erragon. Some might argue that Hitchhikers might fit this bill - but a lot of the humor is spoof. Ever watch a "spoof" movie and have no idea what the movie scene reference is? Yeah it's kinda like that.
Perhaps something like Uglies by Scott Westerfield which from it's synopsis sounds like a far left dystopia (twist on eugenics) series written for a teenage audience. It seems to have a ton of great reviews and is in the top 100 bestselling young adult fiction.
