"Scrawl" by Mark Shulman follows the story of a troubled middle school student named Tod Munn. Serving time in detention, Tod's life starts to unravel as he navigates the harsh realities of adolescence, including bullying, family issues, and his own insecurities. Through his diary entries filled with raw honesty and vivid illustrations, Tod reflects on his relationships with peers, teachers, and his difficult home life. The book delves into themes of identity, redemption, and the power of self-expression, ultimately revealing how one can find hope and understanding even in the darkest situations.
