Bruiser by Neal Shusterman

Tennyson

Don't get me started on the Bruiser. He was voted Most Likely to Get the Death Penalty by the entire school. He's the kid no one knows, no one talks to, and everyone hears disturbing rumors about. So why is my sister, Bront , dating him? One of these days she's going to take in the wrong stray dog, and it's not going to end well.

Bronte

My brother has no right to talk about Brewster that way--no right to threaten him. There's a reason why Brewster can't have friends--why he can't care about too many people. Because when he cares about you, things start to happen. Impossible things that can't be explained. I know, because they're happening to me.

Award-winning author Neal Shusterman has crafted a chilling and unforgettable novel about the power of unconditional friendship, the complex gear workings of a family, and the sacrifices we endure for the people we love.

At once dark and darkly humorous, intense and intensely satisfying, bruiser may very well be Neal Shusterman's best novel yet. Put this one at the top of your 'must read' list. --Ellen Hopkins, New York Times bestselling author of Crank

The English language needs another noun: 'a shusterman.' It means a book that is guaranteed to grip you from beginning to end and leave you thinking about the characters for years, just like bruiser will. Buckle up and prepare for a great ride --Laurie Halse Anderson, National Book Award Finalist for Speak and Chains
