Yummy
Review
By Linus's Blanket
“I strongly suggest that you check out this story for yourself. Both author and illustrator did an excellent job of portraying the complexities and intricacies of Robert Sandifer. The super sweet child who slept with a teddy bear and loved his grandmother -nicknamed Yummy for his love of sweets, and the unrelenting bully who would eventually kill in his search for a place where he belonged. As familiar as I was with the story, this was still an emotional read for me. The author did a wonderful job of sifting through the facts and rendering all of the pertinent details in a way that is accessible to young readers while complex enough for adults. This is a work that demands discussion. Prepare for a story that won’t easily let you go. Highly Recommended. —Linus’s Blanket
