Bloomsbury Publishing Plc The Gravity of Us
Book Synopsis"I'm so starry-eyed for this wise, romantic gem of a book." - Becky Albertalli, bestselling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda In this smart, heart-warming YA debut perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera, two teens find love when their lives are uprooted for their parents’ involvement in a NASA mission to Mars. 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.

Recommended on the TODAY Show!Trade ReviewPhil Stamper's The Gravity of Us is the first love, first launch, astronaut story I didn't know I needed. I'm so starry-eyed for this wise, romantic gem of a book. * Becky Albertalli, bestselling author of SIMON VS. THE HOMO SAPIENS AGENDA *A big-hearted, witty, and intensely relatable debut about reaching for your dreams without losing what grounds you. * Karen M. McManus, New York Times bestselling author of ONE OF US IS LYING and TWO CAN KEEP A SECRET *A grounded romance that shapes into its own lovely constellation. * Adam Silvera, New York Times bestselling co-author of WHAT IF IT'S US *The Gravity of Us speaks poignantly of the things that will attend every human endeavor: family, struggle to know one’s self, and the kind of love that makes you feel like you’re hurtling to the stars. * Jeff Zentner, Morris Award winning author of THE SERPENT KING *Phil Stamper’s confident debut is an excellent exploration of modern social media, first love, and how to use your voice to do good, centered around the preparations for the first crewed mission to Mars. Calvin and Leon are fierce and sweet, and I never wanted their story to end. To put it bluntly, The Gravity of Us is out of this world. * Shaun David Hutchinson, author of WE ARE THE ANTS, THE PAST, and OTHER THINGS THAT SHOULD STAY BURIED *At once a tender love story and an honest exploration of anxiety, ambition, and family dynamics, Phil Stamper’s The Gravity of Us pulls you in and takes you on a beautiful, heartfelt journey. Never has the NASA space program seemed so romantic. * Caleb Roehrig, author of LAST SEEN LEAVING and WHITE RABBIT *A debut to remember, Stamper’s The Gravity Of Us draws you in for a journey of family, friendships, and ambition while exploring the power of social media and our own voices. Equal parts thoughtful and heartfelt, this book never misses a beat. Cal and Leon have my heart drifting in orbit. * Julian Winters, author of RUNNING WITH LIONS *A sweet-spirited romance that will capture readers’ hearts and imaginations. * Booklist, starred review *Phil Stamper’s The Gravity of Us is so interesting and well crafted that it’s hard to believe it’s his first novel. . . . Readers will root for Cal and Leon, their budding romance, their astronaut families and, of course, the prospect of life among the stars. * BookPage, starred review *Stamper crafts a sweet fish-out-of-water tale that also shrewdly explores the intersection between social class and modern media culture…A charming and satisfying first novel. * Kirkus Reviews *Given the important issues raised—media responsibility, NASA and politics, friendship and romance, mental health—this has something for a lot of different teen readers. * School Library Journal *A openhearted novel that shows a realistic, imperfect queer relationship and a young man growing to know and to be true to himself even when everything is shifting around him. * Publishers Weekly *

Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Planning Perfect
Book SynopsisSixteen-year-old Felicity Becker is always a girl with a plan. Next up: winning the social committee chair position at school so she can put her many ideas into action. But when she unexpectedly loses, she’s thrown for a loop – and then another, that evening, when her mom’s boyfriend proposes. She and her mom may be very different, but it’s always been them against the world. Now, everything is going to change. Still, Felicity can’t help but be excited by the wedding planning that’s suddenly before her. Even more so when her mom agrees to travel to Vermont for the summer – to a cabin that just so happens to be on the grounds of Felicity’s crush Nancy’s family vineyard. She framed it as the perfect scenic wedding locale, but she’s hoping this will be her chance to get to know Nancy better, too. There’s just one potential hiccup – Felicity knows she falls somewhere on the asexuality grayscale, but she hasn’t quite figured it out yet. As her plans for Mom get more and more intricate and distracting (to the chagrin of the not-so-plan-oriented bride), she’s consumed with gnawing worry about whether it’s okay to explore things with this girl... she likes Nancy a lot, but she isn’t sure she’d ever want them to get physical. What will happen if Nancy has a different idea of what it means to be more than friends? Haley Neil offers another poignant and layered story about identity, family, and finding where you belong.
