(2) YA In this contemporary immigration story told in verse, Kasienka and her mother move from Poland to England in search of Kasienka's father, Tata. The free-verse narrative presents Kasienka's feelings with economical precision, reflecting her distress but also her resilient nature as she endures bullying, delights in the sensations of kissing her first boyfriend, and finally finds Tata and accepts his new, separate life. Glos.
