Someday
David Levithan
About this book
Celebrate all the ways love makes us who we are with the sequel to the New York Times bestseller Every Day, now a major motion picture. Every day a new body. Every day a new life. Every day a new choice. For as long as A can remember, life has meant waking up in a different person's body every day, forced to live as that person until the day ended. A always thought there wasn't anyone else who had a life like this. But A was wrong. There are others. A has already been wrestling with powerful feelings of love and loneliness. Now comes an understanding of the extremes that love and loneliness can lead to -- and what it's like to discover that you are not alone in the world. In Someday, David Levithan takes readers further into the lives of A, Rhiannon, Nathan, and the person they may think they know as Reverend Poole, exploring more deeply the questions at the core of Every Day and Another Day: What is a soul? And what makes us human?
Censorship history
In 2024, "Someday" by David Levithan was banned at the school level in several districts across the United States due to its LGBTQ+ content. This ban was part of a broader trend where numerous books featuring LGBTQ+ themes faced challenges from parents and advocacy groups, leading to school board votes that upheld the restrictions. Specific instances included formal complaints lodged by local parent-teacher associations in states like Texas and Florida, where the book was deemed inappropriate for school curricula. As of late 2024, the ban remains contested in various districts, with ongoing debates about the inclusion of LGBTQ+ literature in educational settings.
