Saint Iggy
Saint Iggy
Author: K. L. Going
Genres: Children's Books, Teen & Young Adult
Book Type: Hardcover


Very touching book and very true to life.

Iggy is a crack baby, his dad is a user and alcoholic, and so is his mother. Yet somehow Iggy isn't a user. Though people misunderstand him due to his developmental problems from being a crack baby, he really has a wonderful heart. He just doesn't understand or really know better when things go bad for him.

This book does have some strong language in parts, but if you were to see this in real life or hear it, no one is going to be standing there and not cuss or scream or hit or look like they walked off the red carpet from an awards show. It's going to be just like the book portrays it.

And have your tissues ready. That's all I'm gonna say.

But if you want a book that draws you in and keeps you there and makes you feel like you know the character, pick this book up.
