by Harry Kemelman
Ninth grade, that’s when it all began for Bobby Cherno. He’d never minded school, and he’d always had friends to play soccer or go sailing with. Emmet Sundback changed that.

What began with one bully soon became a terrifying, tormenting campaign of prejudice and hatred that saw Bobby’s friends turning into enemies. He told himself he could live...

Tricked into prostitution, she escapes into the alleys of the East End, where bustling market stalls and penny seats at the theater are...
