Buddha Boy by Kathe Koja
With his shaved head and begging bowl the new kid is an automatic target for the bully boys of Edward Rucher High--an easy mark for their casual cruelty. Watching this, Justin would gladly stay as far from the newcomer as possible--until their economics teacher pairs them for a project and he finds himself becoming fascinated by the kid the others mock as Buddha Boy. The thing is, friendship with an outcast always carries a price, and soon Justin must decide if he can stay silent in the face of what he knows. A scorching portrait of contemporary high school life, featuring a character listeners will never forget.Kathe Koja is the author of a number of renowned young adult books, including The Blue Mirror and Buddha Boy, both of which were named ALA Best Books for Young Adults. FSG published her novel Headlong in the fall of 2008. Berkley, Michigan is her home.
