Book of the Week! - Stitches, by David Small
Mrs. Karr's English class is doing graphic novels and while I was up there this morning giving a short lesson, I couldn't believe I forgot about this book. STITCHES tells the story of a young boy who develops a growth in his throat. He goes in for a routine surgery and when he wakes up he discovers the growth was actually cancerous and they had to remove a vocal chord, leaving him barely able to talk...now, he's angry at everyone.
This book is dark and a little twisted, but it reads like a movie. The images are so distorted and off-putting that it makes you not want to turn the page...but you HAVE TO because together, the pictures and story make this an incredible read!
