Review: Hey Kiddo is a graphic novel revolving around the life of Jerret Krosocza and is an autobiography. It is interesting and fast paced, yet very emotional. The drawings are absolutely beautiful, and the writing is even better. I read it in one sitting and was amazed by how good it was. All the illustrations are coloured in burnt-orange, a significance that is very important. I would definitely recommend reading the authors notes and acknowledgments. Very interesting, tear-jerking read. Review by my daughter, Arohi Arora
