(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Elaine Clayton. This free-verse novel's title refers to the distance between JoEllen's divorced parents' homes: her mother's urban Cincinnati apartment and her father's farm. JoEllen feels split not only between her parents but also between her two very different identities when she's with each of them. The emotionally credible poems are accompanied by collages, doodles, and found art, reinforcing the novel's authentic voice.
