‘When I was thirteen I was sent away... Maybe dragged away is a better way to put it.’ A powerful and unflinching graphic memoir about what really happens inside America’s secretive ‘troubled teen’ correctional facilities – told from the inside with raw honesty and dark humour. Bad Kid tells the story of Sofia’s turbulent teenhood, including her experience of being taken away (‘kidnapped’) to a residential treatment centre aimed at ‘troubled teens’. Wise, funny and heartbreaking all at once, it presents – in a series of flashbacks – the unforgettable portrait of life in a US 'teenage boot camp' and offers YA readers a glimpse into the harmful effects that labels can have on us. Powerfully told in black and white comic strips accented with vivid pops of red, Bad Kid is the coming-of-age story of Sofia’s late childhood, and how her once-happy relationship with her mother sours irreparably when she marries Sofia’s stepfather. It follows her early teenage rebellion years in which she meets Marigold – ‘AKA the coolest girl I’d ever met’ – and together they set about finding themselves through the traditional teen pursuits of rule breaking, smoking, dodgy hook ups and bright red booty shorts . . . until the day when she is bundled into a car by total strangers and driven 400 miles to a teenage correction camp based deep in the woodlands of Virginia, US . . . This powerful and challenging memoir covers themes and ideas that are universal to teenagers everywhere – being misunderstood, mis-labelled and rejected, and speaks to relationship and mental health issues experienced by teens today. A striking coming-of-age story for YA and adult readers alike, Bad Kid reminds us that no one is beyond redemption – and that reclaiming your story can be the most powerful act of all.

Sofia always knew she wanted to have a child. After she and her husband had been married for several years, she went off birth control, and nothing happened. She didn't even get a period. Years of partying and disordered eating had taken a toll on her body. And when a doctor told her she might never have a baby naturally, Sofia was devastated. In this compelling and honest graphic memoir, Sofia Szamosi shares the story of her long and uphill journey toward motherhood. With humor and engaging art, she illustrates her troubled path to have a child. She shares the effort she made to tune into her body and de-stress in order to get in touch with the creative life force which she believes is running through her and running through all of us. Sofia helps us to understand the pressures women put on their bodies in the name of beauty and fertility. And offers us a way out through connection and hope.
