Tagged by Eric Walters - - Optional


Walters, Eric Tagged, 125 pgs. Orca Book Publishers; 2013. $9.95. Language: G (0 swears) Mature Content: G; Violence: G.  

The Wiz is a great artist, a great graffiti artist.  He wants to make a statement.  The mayor is cracking down on public programs and has cut funding to the swimming pool, the library, even the art gallery.  He also has vowed to stop the graffiti.  Should The Wiz be able to express himself anyway and anywhere he wants? 

Tagged is part of the Orca Soundings series; low level, high interest titles for High School students. This is not a very exciting story, I found it too educational which did not make it high interest. There are many misleading conversations meant to tease a certain character that would confuse an art novice.  The characters were flat, dialogue seemed forced, thin plot, disappointed reader.
