Yummy
Review
By BookDragon
True stories about kids with tragic endings are undoubtedly effective in fueling parents’ worst nightmares. This one proves especially haunting. . . . Captured in stark black-and-white graphics that underscore the bleakness of Yummy’s short life, writer/filmmaker/producer G. Neri reimagines what Yummy’s existence might have been like before he was gunned down. Neri creates a fictional narrator, Robert, who tells Yummy’s story; Neri culled Yummy’s tragic past from actual public records, media reports, and personal accounts. —BookDragon
