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

5.0

This graphic novel told the real life story of an 11-year old boy who was many things to many people. He was a gang member of the Black Dis piles in Southeast Chicago and he was his Granny’s angel. He was known for kind acts and known for thug behaviors in his immediate community. He found himself in a situation that showed just how juvenile his mind and understanding of life and actions are.
I believe this is a boo that young kids should be exposed to because it is a reality for many in certain areas of our nation. It’s important for young people to know about these situations young people’s find themselves and how, possibly why.
An important work.
