Penguin Readers Level 5: Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda (ELT Graded Reader)

By Becky Albertalli

Celebrate the ten-year anniversary of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by #1 New York Times bestselling and Stonewall Honor-winning author Becky Albertalli with this stunning DELUXE LIMITED PAPERBACK EDITION, while supplies last. Sixteen-year-old and not-so-openly gay Simon Spier prefers to save his drama for the school musical. But when an email falls into the wrong hands, his secret is at risk of being thrust into the spotlight. Now Simon is actually being blackmailed: If he doesn't play wingman for class clown Martin, his sexual identity will become everyone's business. Worse, the privacy of Blue, the pen name of the boy he's been emailing with, will be jeopardized. With some messy dynamics emerging in his once tight-knit group of friends and his email correspondence with Blue growing more flirtatious every day, Simon's junior year has suddenly gotten all kinds of complicated. Now change-averse Simon has to find a way to step out of his comfort zone before he's pushed out--without alienating his friends, compromising himself, or fumbling a shot at happiness with the most confusing, adorable guy he's never met. This limited special edition includes gorgeous specs, making the package as beautiful as the read, and features new bonus content from Becky herself, including emails between Simon and Blue and Oreo recipes from Simon!
