Hannah asked:

Is there any reason why Ms. Acevedo decided to write this book in verse form? I personally thought it made her word choice and story that much more powerful.

Anne Perhaps because it's what she's good at! Acevedo is a poet and a National Poetry Slam Champion. You can watch some videos of her performing her works on her website: http://www.acevedowrites.com/about

I think Acevedo makes poetry feel current and approachable. She also wrote The Poet X, which is another novel in verse. Her book The Fire on High is written in prose - but is also very lyrical.
