Yummy

This book is really a short story in graphic novel. It is about Yummy, an eleven year old boy from Chicago who was lured into gang life, murdered a girl, and then was murdered by his own gang brothers when the police didn't drop the case. What a terrible, horrific true story. What is also terrible and horrific is that I hadn't heard this one yet, despite it being so widespread on the news not too long ago. How many more of these stories are untold? How many years of life have been lost to these circumstances? It is too awful to comprehend. This is a great read for fans of Jason Reynolds.
