Autobiography of My Dead Brother
The thing was that me and Rise were blood brothers, but sometimes I really didn't know him. . . .
And so Jesse fills his sketchbook with drawings and portraits of his blood brother, Rise, and his comic strip, Spodi Roti and Wise, as he makes sense of the complexities of friendship, loyalty, and loss in a neighborhood where drive-bys, vicious gangs, and abusive cops are everyday realities.
Printz Award winner Walter Dan Myers and Caldecott Honor artist Christopher Myers join forces to deliver a gripping and brutally honest novel about friendship, loss, and loyalty, told in a sketchbook/comic-book style.
