Spinning through the Universe: A Novel in Poems from Room 214

93 pp. | Farrar/Foster | April, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-374-37159-8 $$16.00
(4) 4-6 The author of Keesha's House offers another novel in verse, this time told from the alternating perspectives of Mrs. Willliams's fifth-grade students. Some of the kids' voices strain or sound identical, but the subject matter (losing a parent, a first crush, ethnic pride) is timeless. The book ends with a detailed note on the poems' various forms.
