Fearless Fernie: Hanging Out with Fernie and Me

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Regan Dunnick. Tweaking the trend of free-verse novels, this collection of poems is united by theme rather than plot as it explores the shifting ground of early adolescence as experienced by two best friends: the narrator ("Me") and Fernie. Most of the poems are casually deft and often funny in evoking the boys' misadventures. Small ink sketches illustrate most of the poems with tongue-in-cheek depictions of their furthest flights of imagery.
