Reviews
"Praise for Ultraviolet: * ""Written in Salazar's stunning and highly accessible verse . . . this novel stands out for the thoughtful way it expresses a young boy's perspective as it discusses topics such as masculinity and consent. . . . A story that sings to the soul."" --Kirkus Reviews, starred review * ""In a succinct, conversational style, Salazar (A Seed in the Sun) humorously and introspectively depicts the effects of puberty on Elio's everyday life as he grapples with confusing messaging he receives about how to be a man. Issues around consent and patriarchal systems are handled with insight and sensitivity, culminating in a compassionate verse novel about first love, heartbreak, and vulnerability."" --Publishers Weekly, starred review ""Ultraviolet is a lyrical explosion, true and beautiful, of the pains and joys of growing into a good man."" -- Francisco X. Stork, award-winning author of I Am Not Alone and Marcelo in the Real World ""Honest and poignant. Aida Salazar hits the mark with this important and intensely relatable tale that perfectly captures the angst of growing up. A true gift to maturing tweens everywhere."" -- Ernesto Cisneros, award-winning author of Efrén Divided"
