Description
Bullied at school and ignored at home, Travis has a secret: cutting himself with a razor blade is the only thing that lets him control the pain in his life and find some peace. When he becomes friends with Chyvonne he doesn't know how to get close to her without revealing his secret and making himself even more vulnerable. Spending time with Chyvonne spurs Travis to try to discover why his mother can't seem to face his very existence. It's only when he learns about the art form of paper cutting that he realizes there might be other ways to make himself feel adrenaline-fueled and in control.

Cutter Boy (Lorimer:Side Streets) by Christy Watson
Cutter Boy by Christy Watson is a great young adult read for below average readers. The story centers around a boy who is sliding through life ignored and bullied. His way of dealing with the pain is to cut, a secret that no one knows about at least until Chyvonne moves to town. She has no preconceived notions about Travis and befriends him. Together they move forward Chyvonne to play basketball and Travis to learn to cut paper.
Excellent book!
Point of Interest: Women self injure more than male’s do according to statistics, but the population of male who self injure is growing. This behavior is contagious and is a coping mechanism with young people.
