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

5.0

An extremely engaging graphic novel that I pair with the TIME article on the same topic in my sophomore English/Language Arts class. Gives students the opportunity to debate and decide how a person is a product of his society/environment versus his choices (and the consequences of those choices). I use this as an introduction to [b:Monster|44184|Monster|Walter Dean Myers|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255571443s/44184.jpg|1386643] by [a:Walter Dean Myers|13291|Walter Dean Myers|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1230178601p2/13291.jpg]. Most of my students love it!
