Yummy: The Last Days of a Southside Shorty by G. Neri

4.0

Based on a true story. Robert, aka "Yummy," is a young boy who gets caught up in gang violence and murders someone. He is on the run from the cops and is scared. While in hiding, the media and community begin to grapple with the situation and who is at fault.

This graphic novel brings to light contemporary issues facing the inner cities and African Americans. There has to be a way to give more opportunities to those young kids who are simply a product of their environment.
