Book excerpt: The Pop-Up Kid is a powerful work that will leave you amazed and full of wonder; at the same time, it inspires the downtrodden to get up and overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. This book will no doubt compel you to ask yourself, How many of us have gone through this process? Have I been through this process? Is it possible that we all go through this process and are made not to remember? And as you read this work, you will tearfully ask, how could this be? How could one kid experience and survive so much pain and suffering? It may seem that it just couldnt be. But it was so, and it remains so. The Pop-Up Kid is a must read.
