Bruiser By Neal Shusterman
What if you didn't have to feel pain, any pain? No physical, no emotional pain, ever. The only problem is that you don't just get rid of it; you transfer it to another person. Would you still do it, or would you own your pain? Brewster, or Bruiser as most of his classmates know him, has tried to remain aloof from everyone except his younger brother, Cody. However, when a brother and sister enter his life, all that he knows and tries not to know changes.
Recommended for grades 8 and up.
