Hey Kiddo

















Wow this is something!!  Jarrett Krosoczka has created a graphic memoir of his life growing up.  Jarrett's mom was a heroin addict who battled the addiction and was in and out of jail and rehab for years.  Jarrett was raised by his grandparents in a household filled with smoking, drinking, fighting.  But underneath it all there was love which Jarrett comes to terms with.  

This is powerful and something that many students will relate to.  There is language in the text and it is a bot harsh at times but I am more inclined to give it a pass because of its honesty.  So well done.
