Reviews

"Mixing charm and humor with a cast of delightfully messy teens you can't help but root for, Brighter Than the Moon offers a refreshing exploration of friendship, love, online personas, and identity. David Valdes perfectly captures the earnestness of being a teen trying to figure out your place in the world." --Crystal Maldonado, author of FAT CHANCE, CHARLIE VEGA and NO FILTER AND OTHER LIES

"Unpredictable, in the best way possible. A story of identity, family, love, and the concurrent pain and beauty within uncertainty. Valdes has beautifully created and developed three very different protagonists, and I found myself wholeheartedly embracing each one." --Sara Beg, author of SALAAM, WITH LOVE

"With Brighter Than the Moon, David Valdes gifts us a beautifully emotional and carefully crafted story about the messy process of connecting the dots of our own identities and connecting to each other in a fragmented world." --Abdi Nazemian, author of Stonewall Honor Book LIKE A LOVE STORY and THE CHANDLER LEGACIES

"The heart wants what the heart wants, and Valdes artfully gives all involved their heart's desire." --Booklist, starred review

"...a sweet story that positively explores the validity of online friendship and romance." --Publishers Weekly

"An absolute blast. I loved it, and I couldn't put it down!" --Bill Konigsberg, award-winning author of The Music of What Happens on SPIN ME RIGHT ROUND

"A great read offering entertainment, encouragement, and plenty to reflect upon." --Kirkus Reviews on SPIN ME RIGHT ROUND

"Prepare to laugh out loud as Cuban American high-school senior Luis takes a trip into the past that rivals Back to the Future. . . . The ripple effects of [the characters'] brave choices change everyone's future for the better." --Booklist, on SPIN ME RIGHT ROUND
