There's not much I can say about this book without ruining it. It's a book of poetry all written by the same young boy "Jack" under the premise that he is only writing it for a class. It begins with him hating poetry and being very clearly against it. As the story develops, his writing improves, and his love for poetry grows too.
The book is so sweet. I read it out loud to my husband as we drove to Idaho Falls. I'm not a big crier and I ended up choking up and breaking down into a full out bawl right in front of him; no shame. It was just so touching and sweet - it's every English teacher's dream :)
