Today’s Riot Rec theme is: dysfunctional families! Fun to read about, not so much fun to be a part of!
Parachute Kids by Betty C. Tang
Like a lot of kids, Feng-Li doesn’t always get along with her siblings. Unlike a lot of kids, she and her siblings have been left alone in America while their parents go back to Taiwan, so they have to learn to stop squabbling and work together real quick if they want to stay safe!
Hey, Kiddo by Jarrett J. Krosoczka
In the quintessential “dysfunctional family” comic, Krosoczka relates his own unconventional childhood, which he spent being raised by assertive grandparents while his mother struggled with drug addiction and his father was nowhere to be found. Once he grew up, he was finally able to fully understand who his family is and why they are the way they are.
The next time you hear from me, it’ll be October! Halloween season, yay!
