David Small's family included him mom, dad and brother along with a grandmother and step-grandfather. It was an awkward family with odd behaviors that affected David in more ways than he realized at the time.
Using a graphic novel to tell his story was impressive. I was drawn in by both the pictures and words, and felt David's plight. He definitely had some very frightening circumstances, yet thankfully he has risen above it all and is able to tell his story to others.
I really liked this one too! What a childhood.
ReplyDeleteBermudaonion ~ It's quite astonishing to read about all the crazy parents/people in this world, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this one too. The ilustrations of the mom and grandma...scary!
ReplyDeleteStacybuckeye ~ I agree. You can really get the feel for what he was seeing and feeling by his pictures.
