Novels in verse for kids who can't stand poetry!
Think you don't like poetry? Challenge accepted! Give one of these novels a try. No awkward rhyming words just to create a rhyme, no iambic pentameter or flowery language you need a study guide to understand. With short sentences and a story line that lasts for the entire book, you'll find yourself finished before you know it. It's not a book of poetry...it's a novel...in verse.
