After escaping war-torn Kosovo, Cris and his family must start over in Canada. He's the weird new kid until bossy Elle scoops him up; years later, when a therapist asks him to journal about his life, all Cris can write about is his and Elle's falling out. This confessional diary-style story sets the pain of coming of age against the lingering, often invisible impacts of war trauma
