"This important and intensely relatable tale perfectly captures the angst of growing up. A true gift to maturing tweens everywhere." -- Ernesto Cisneros, Pura Belpré award-winning author of Efrén Divided

For Elio Solis, eighth grade fizzes with change—his body teeming with hormones. His feelings that flow like lava. His relationship with Pops, who's always telling him to man up, the Solis way. And especially Camelia, his first girlfriend.

But when betrayal and heartbreak send Elio spiraling toward revenge, he doesn't anticipate that a fight to prove his manhood and defend Camelia's honor will lead to dire consequences—or that Camelia's not looking for a savior.

Crackling with comedy and unflinching candor, Ultraviolet digs deep into themes of consent, puberty, masculinity, and the emotional lives of boys, as it challenges stereotypes and offers another way to be in the world. It speaks directly to tweens' and young teens' lived experiences and will make them feel seen.

I absolutely loved this read! My son is in 6th grade and they are reading this book. I was encouraged to read it by him and we both enjoyed it!

The author's descriptive anger and how it put me in a place where I new exactly what he was feeling!
