INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Siebold, Jan

Rope Burn

(3) 4-6 Rich's English assignment--to use a proverb as the theme for an essay describing an incident from his life--turns into multiple essays as he follows his teacher's advice about trying to find his own "writing voice." The anxieties of changing schools and dealing with divorced parents are honestly explored in this brief yet revealing foray into a boy's everyday experiences.
