“The Sweet Rot” is a different kind of kid’s book with weird names for characters and a dark and sinister look to it. Its main character Pukeboy is in search of advice on how to learn to whip his fear of appearing in front of an audience playing guitar. Though kind of bizarre “The Sweet Rot” has many positive messages for kids to learn about life. An added bonus is how Simko author, and illustrator, has used many different colors to give it the dark look that begins with the cover enticing the reader to want to turn the pages to see the fascinating artwork throughout the book.
