I'm a Different Type of Apple

By Kevin D. Elliott Sr.

I m a Different Type of Apple When Kevin D Elliott Sr. was just eleven years old, his school principal told his mother that her son would murder someone someday. No matter what trouble Kevin did or didn t get into at school, he was, after all, the son of a father on death row. People around him assumed he would follow in his father s tragic footsteps. But Kevin didn t. He transformed the negativity and ugliness that his father passed on to him, bucking the odds and growing into a positive, productive person. I m a Different Type of Apple is an inspirational memoir that proves that the apple actually can fall far really far from the tree. It is a true story of a boy who stops following his father s dark legacy and starts walking in his own direction.In doing so, he figures out how to be a boy, a teenager, and a man. Good for teenagers who are considered at risk and for parents and other adults who work with kids, I m a Different Type of Apple is an excellent tool for teaching people that they can change their lives and even make that change all by themselves."
