INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Harrington, Janice N.

Catching a Storyfish

(3) 4-6 Katharen (a.k.a. Keet), who loves to talk and tell stories, moves with her African American family from Alabama to Illinois. She has difficulty adjusting and retreats within herself until her much-loved grandfather and new Spanish-speaking friend Allegra help her find her voice again. The affecting first-person account is written in various poetic forms (a poetry glossary is included) that deftly capture characterization and emotions.
