Publisher Description
A funny and honest coming-of age-story about first love and finding yourself, Here, There, Everywhere is perfect for fans of Andrew Smith and Becky Albertalli.
Zeus would rather be anywhere than here—Buffalo Falls, the tiny town his family moved to at the end of the school year. Having left all his friends back in Chicago, and with nothing to look forward to except helping out at his mother’s café and biking around town with his weird little brother, Zeus is pretty sure this is destined to be the worst summer of his life.
But then he meets Rose.
Rose is funny, beautiful, smart, and an incredible musician; Zeus can hardly believe that someone like her exists, let alone seems interested in being with him.
However, while Zeus is counting down the minutes until he can see her next, Rose is counting down the days until she finds out whether she will be able to leave their small town to pursue her dreams.
As the afternoons spent going on local adventures pass into nights discussing their deepest hopes, Zeus knows that he doesn’t have long to convince Rose that what they have is more than a summer fling...if only he’s brave enough to seize the chance.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this lighthearted romance, Zeus's mother moves the family from Chicago to middle-of-nowhere Illinois to open a caf . Friendless and aimless, Zeus has little to do beyond helping his mother with lunch deliveries with his WWII-obsessed younger brother, Grub, in tow, imagining battles the entire way. During a stop at a nursing home, he meets musically talented Rose and stumbles into a community of rambunctious elderly residents. Durango (The Leveller) and first-time author Terrones infuse Zeus's narration with reflection, emotion, and hope as he ventures into new friendships and into first love with Rose, who is planning to move to New York City to study music. This story is as much about family as it is about romance: Zeus's close but challenging relationship with Grub takes center stage throughout, and their mother is an invested, perceptive parent whom Zeus confides in. Readers should find it easy to fall for Zeus and everyone else in his new life in this breezily enjoyable novel about new beginnings. Ages 13 up.
