Dirty Liar (EBK)
by Brian James
Benji knows the world sees him as weird, troubled, and broken. He doesn't fit in, but he doesn't really care; he just wants to be invisible. Benji refuses to talk about why he left his mother behind to go live with his father and stepmother in Portland. That's because he doesn't want anyone to know about how his mother drank too much, how her boyfriend abused him, and—most of all—how that abuse crossed the line one fateful night. To keep from self-destructing, Benji writes in his notebook about what really happened to him. He's determined to keep the truth from his father and stepmother—and from Rianna, the popular girl he's crushing on. But the truth comes out anyway, and Benji's world crashes down around him. Can he trust the people who say they care to help him deal with it all? This riveting and realistic tale offers a harrowing look at the effects of abuse as seen through the eyes of a damaged teen.
