A review by sducharme
Punching Bag by Rex Ogle

5.0

This memoir for mature middle graders and young adults is the follow up to FREE LUNCH. It continues the story of Rex's childhood growing up in poverty in the US and reveals the domestic violence hinted at in the previous book. It's graphic, very upsetting, and raw. It's a story of survival and hope - but it's absolutely heartbreaking.
