The Amazing True Story of a Teenage Single Mom

The Amazing True Story of a Teenage Single Mom was written by Kathrine Arnoldi. Before I get to the review, I have a confession to make. I sort of cheated last week. Because I was not working as much as usual last week I decided to tackle a book that technically is two books. I did not finish it in time, and resorted to this book, a graphic novel, although I think it's more accurate to consider it a comic book.

The story was an inspiring one, that is certainly true. You have to admire the author and the work that she went through. And the drawings were creative. However, the story telling was light on details and a little less than believable at times. For example, the main character had no idea what financial aid was. I guess it just wasn't as available when the story took place. There was very little dialogue shown and most of the storytelling was done by narrating the pictures. 

It was a good concept, telling a simple, true story through a medium that is traditionally used for action, and the message was an important one. However, I wish that she did more to describe the chain of events and used clearer language.
