I love this book for several reasons-it is poetry, it displays the power of kindness and incorporates God's Word!
The story of Tanya and Jordan is told via poetry and each page alternates between their points of view. As the reader progresses, he will infer and discover traits and reasons behind each character's behavior.
The poetry format is one I have never read- "golden shovel". The poet takes lines from an existing poem and creates a new poem using the words from the original. The poet arranges the original line vertically in the right margin. Then the lines in the new poem must end with those words placed vertically. Difficult to explain so I would recommend just reading this book!!
**Highly, highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library (but one I plan to buy).
