Summary: A book that you can't put down!
Review: I had to read this for a young adult literature class and dreaded it when I saw that it was written in free-verse. But once I got started, I couldn't put it down--I read it all in one evening. Karen Hesse does an outstanding job creating very real characters and setting. Although many of the events in the book are tragic, the book is overall uplifting. I highly recommend it!

Summary: Puzzling...
Review: The book has a pretty interesting storyline, but the way it is written is just downright strange. The entire thing is written in a series of poems written by a little girl, the main character in this novel.It takes place during the Dust Bowl in the Southwest, with Billie Jo, the main character, dealing with life during the hard times she has. She must deal with emotional issues throughout the novel after a tragic incident with her mother and the guilt she feels afterward. Although the novel is written very strangely, it is still a good book and something that would be a good idea to pick up on a rainy day...

Summary: WOW!!
Review: I really enjoyed reading this book!! Karen Hesse does a wonderful job of pulling the reader into the 1930's. Her description of life in the dust bowl during the Great Depression allow the reader to feel all of the emotions of the characters and taste the dust during the storms. I wish that she would have provided more information at the end of the book. After experiencing all of Billie's sorrows and triumphs I was disappointed to find that there was no more story to read. I would recommend this book to my friends and I'm giving my grandfather a copy to read.
