Happy National Poetry Month!
As a young YA Librarian, I remember thinking I wouldn't like novels in verse. The concept seemed strange to me. I wasn't big on poetry. I loved Shel Silverstein as a kid, but English classes took the joy out of poetry. So I wasn't sure what to expect, but I didn't expect to love it.
What My Mother Doesn't Know - this book opened me up to a new genre of books.
From here, I read more of her books.
Then I moved on to Lisa Schroeder's amazing books.
I read some darker books
I've read some other novels in verse too, but these have all stuck in my mind. I love the format. I love how perfect they are for reluctant readers. I've given these books out so many times over the years.
Do you have a favorite novel in verse?
