Yummy: The Last Days of a Southside Shorty by Greg Neri

Roger is eleven years old and is struggling to make sense of the death of his classmate, Robert “Yummy” Sandifer. As he starts to uncover Yummy’s past, he ends up with more questions than answers. How did he end up in so much trouble? Did he kill someone? And why are all the answers leading him to the gang his brother belongs to?

This powerful graphic novel is based on real life events that happened in Chicago in 1994. It allows readers to question their own perceptions of right and wrong.

Greg Neri is an award-winning author and filmmaker from Los Angeles. He also teaches animation and storytelling to inner city teens.
