OLDER FICTION
Strong, JJ

Us Kids Know

(4) YA Ray, bullied and anxious, is searching for something to believe in. His sister, Brielle, feels fake next to her nice-girl friends. Then the O'Dell siblings encounter Cullen Hickson, a hapless loner who means well but attracts trouble. In chapters that rotate among their perspectives, these complex, well-drawn teens instigate reckless, dangerous criminal stunts. A gritty, multilayered read that leaves readers with more questions than answers.
