I have only read a few verse stories in my live. I have never been a big fan of the format, but this one works for me. As individualized poems (nonrhyming, of course, which is always a challenge for me to read!!), the story progresses about a girl named Diana and her very settled and happy life. She can tell something is up, and comes to find out her dad lost his job and the family will be moving in with her grandpa, which is six hours away.
This means she has to leave behind her best friend and all things comfortable for her and sister Twink, which is devastating to her. Each single paged poem moves the reader along in Diana's feelings and events as she goes from one house to the the other. Diana will find that somethings can work out very nicely.
