(2) 4-6 In free verse, twelve-year-old Annie describes a transitional year in her life. The impending birth of her first sibling, the decline in her grandfather's health, and the changes in her friend Max bring up all sorts of questions about what it means to be alive. Creech uses lyrical phrases of poetry to convey complicated and awesomely large subjects rarely discussed in books for children.
