Saint Iggy by K.L.Going

K.L. Going introduces readers to an endearing character - Igmund (IGGY) - and his "normal" life in the projects. I wonder how privileged kids react to the matter-of-fact world depicted by Going.  None of the drama and macho bravado of the hood that is depicted on TV.  Going writes about a sensitive kid trapped in a dead end lifestyle. This would be an excellent read for a teen book club.
