Liar

Now at 14 Alex has a chance—maybe his last chance—to make a fresh start at his grandparents’ farm.
“There are no easy answers in Winifred Morris’s highly readable novel Liar, which tells the truth about young Alex Shafer, troubled and in trouble—with the law, his school, his family. Hemmed in by the lies he is told and the lies he tells himself,
Alex often does the wrong, heart-wrenching thing. But you’ll find yourself cheering him on as the author captures all the desperations and desires of being young and hurting.”—Robert Cormier
