Introspective journeys

Wild Kids is split into two stories, Kid Sister and Wild Child. I preferred Kid Sister but both were great stories. Kid Sister is about the narrator's younger sister getting an abortion and he recollects how she has affected his life. Wild Child is about a young boy that has a wild side that leads him to the wrong place where he ends up on a destructive path. Both stories examine the narrator's family life, inner problems, issues, how society affects people and relations with others. Neither of the stories flow in a conventional manner, jumping from different events while intertwining thoughts and recollections of childhood memories. The story still does not lose you and keeps you engrossed to the end. I definitely reccommend this book.
