Every Day

School Library Journal Best of Children's Books 2012 Kirkus Reviews Best of Teen's Books 2012 Booklist Best of Children's Books 2012 "Fresh, unique, funny, and achingly honest, Levithan brilliantly explores the adolescent conundrum of not feeling like oneself, and not knowing where one belongs. I didn't just read this book -- I inhaled it." --Jodi Picoult, NYT bestselling author of "Lone Wolf" and "Between the Lines" Entertainment Weekly, August 22, 2012: "Rich in wisdom and wit...Levithan keeps the pages turning not only with ingenious twists on his central conceit but with A's hard-earned pieces of wisdom about identity, isolation, and love." Every Day" has the power to teach a bully empathy by answering an essential question: What's it like to be you and not me -- even if it's just for one day?" New York Times Book Review, August 26, 2012: "It demonstrates Levithan's talent for empathy, which is paired in the best parts of the book with a persuasive optimism about the odds for happiness and for true love." Los Angeles Times, September 2, 2012: "It's the rare book that challenges gender presumptions in a way that's as entertaining as it is unexpected and, perhaps most important, that's relatable to teens who may not think they need sensitivity training when it comes to sexual orientation and the nature of true love. 'Every Day' is precisely such a book...A story that is always alluring, oftentimes humorous and much like love itself -- splendorous." MTV Hollywood Crush, September 28, 2012: "Thoughtful and fascinating...A study in the most real and human of concerns: the importance of empathy, the value of friends and family, and the beauty of permanence that we have the luxury of taking for granted." Boston Globe, September 15, 2012: "Ambitious and provocative...we're not ready to let A go." OUT Magazine, December 2012: "One of the most inventive young adult novels of the year."
