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

5.0

While short, this graphic novel is well researched, and clear in it's approach to telling the story through a made up character (Roger). If you want an easy way to discuss class, race, gangs, Chicago, and the ways in which we are born into lives we cannot choose, and have to find a way to be a part of it -- even if that means doing the wrong things for reasons that don't make sense to those outside of what we know. Powerful commentary, worth discussion.
