A. Kendrick is bullied at school and has no allies among students or staff. And why should he? He's small and strange-looking and slow. His only purpose in life is to keep his younger brother safe from their negligent and occasionally violent mother. When every encounter he has with a boy his own age ends in a beating, will he dare to let anybody else in? And what will happen when all the feelings he's been keeping bottled up suddenly come to the surface? Beware: This work takes place over 8~ years and is written in journal format. As the narrator ages, the language of the entries becomes more complex and the entries themselves increase in length (mostly). Warning: Swear words will show up occasionally starting at entry 55.
