During some slower first-half moments of the NCAA tournament games I was watching tonight, I picked it up off our shelf--I eventually muted the game because I was enjoying the book so much. In an unusual format, Creech reminded me of how fun it was to realize that poetry is not just confusing, archaic material for adults. Witnessing those first few moments of "wait...I actually LIKE how that sounds" are part of why I love teaching freshmen--maybe I'll try to work in parts of this book next term. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/273426?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
