Us Kids Know by JJ Strong
Siblings Bri and Ray O’Dell are lost. Anxious. Restless. Ray bullied at his Catholic school for being small and timid wants to be someone people respect or, even better, someone people fear. Meanwhile, Bri knows that something is off about her friendship with the shiny, happy, sophisticated blond girls on her field hockey team. They don’t really understand Bri, and if Bri is being totally honest, she doesn’t really understand them either.
