I liked the use of multiple characters leading a narrative A Hero Ain't Nothing But a Sandwich. I think it helped because the main character Benji and his addiction to heroine compromised his interpretations of events, specifically with Benji’s teachers and his Benji's stepfather, Butler. Benji had many moments complete and utter disrespect of Butler for the plain reason that he is not his real father. I can see how the fact that Benji's real father abandoning his family could foster harsh feeling toward male figures in his life. So I would most likely suggest this text to urban school libraries throughout Chicago for both middle and high school students 7th-10th grade. The reading level of the text is simple, but the slang would create a challenge for the younger students.
