(4) YA Aspiring poet Laura (a.k.a. Sister Slam) and her friend Twig escape their small town to enroll in "the University / of Gray Road, Blue Sky, / and Yellow Lines." Despite failing at their first poetry slam, the two eventually become minor celebrities in a plot that occasionally stretches credibility. The self-consciously hip novel is written in playful, semi-rhyming verse.
