Hard to completely tell her story in 32 pages, but it's definitely a keeper.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662811441487822589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-80605519465821914322012-11-13T20:41:53.994-08:002012-11-13T20:41:53.994-08:00I loved Inside Out, but haven't seen Girl Comi...I loved Inside Out, but haven't seen Girl Coming in for a Landing.

I'm just happy that Iphigene (one of the GatheringBooks ladies) has managed to read and review Missing May last week, but we're still lagging waaaay behind. If you're interested in novels-in-verse, we have used this as our bimonthly theme last year, and I did create a list from that theme which you may want to check out and which might help you in your Nanowrimo - here ya go. http://gatheringbooks.wordpress.com/2012/01/28/list-of-novels-in-verse-and-poetry-books-for-children-and-round-up-for-january-2012/<br /><br />If you're looking for 'two voices' - I thought that Nikki Grimes' Dark Sons was particularly powerful and compelling.GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-1465561195270018212012-11-12T19:17:13.611-08:002012-11-12T19:17:13.611-08:00Good Night, laila tov sounds wonderful, as do seve...Good Night, laila tov sounds wonderful, as do several others, like the Audrey Hepburn book. Congrats on doing nanowrimo-what a big challenge! I love the novels in verse, like those you mentioned, & have you read Girl Coming In For A Landing and Inside Out and Back Again? They are both good too.
