[ISLMA-Share] Graphic novel suggestion needed

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

*Yummy: The last days of a Southside Shorty *by Greg Neri.  It's based on
the death of an 11-year old Chicago boy who was killed by members of his
own gang.  Maybe a little too real as a class read, but been very popular
with both Junior High and High School students for me.
