Charise knows this, and she isn't afraid to use that knowledge.
Whether it's her favourite toy car, affection from the family cat,
or time to sit on her mum's lap, Charise gets what she wants. She
doesn't mean to hurt her little brother, Daniel, in the process,
but if he stands in her way, he's going to get what he deserves. Of
course, just because Charise is older than Daniel doesn't mean that
she is wiser than him. In fact, if Charise can learn to open her
heart before she hurts him in a way that she can't take back, she
might discover that her little brother has the greatest power of
all.

In Other Boys, debut author Damian Alexander delivers a moving
middle grade graphic memoir about his struggles with bullying, the
death of his mother, and coming out. Damian is the new kid at
school, and he has a foolproof plan to avoid the bullying that's
plagued him his whole childhood: he's going to stop talking.
Starting on the first day seventh grade, he won't utter a word. If
he keeps his mouth shut, the bullies will have nothing to tease him
about--right? But Damian's vow of silence doesn't work--his
classmates can tell there's something different about him. His
family doesn't look like the kind on TV: his mother is dead, his
father is gone, and he's being raised by his grandparents in a

supposed do, like play with Barbies instead of GI Joe. Kids have
teased him about this his whole life, especially other boys. But if
boys can be so cruel, why does Damian have a crush on one?
