pickThis was a wonderful read. Quinn(ie) is an eighth grader trying to figure out exactly who she is. Her seemingly perfect brother just left for college, and now her parents are fighting more than ever. She‘s been friends with Jack for years, but things change after Jade joins their class. Then her home is hit by a tornado. As she learns to write poetry, she works through all of these things and grows in her own direction.
I‘ve slowly read some not so great books recently, so I picked this up for a quick read. It reminds me a bit of Love that Dog in the way it‘s written as Quinn is learning about and writing poetry, as well as dealing with some tough aspects of life. Her parents‘ relationship is rocky and her neighborhood is hit by a tornado. I‘m enjoying it and really liked this bit about personification.

My aunt gifted my class library the Missouri Truman Award Nominees for next school year! I spent some time this morning getting them labeled to put on the shelves. I‘m taking the tagged home to hopefully read soon.
