(4) YA Deserted by their mother, sixteen-year-old Sissy and her brother, Boy, struggle through many living situations in this free verse novel. Though the plot is well trodden, Sissy's transformation into an artist is both plausible and touching. As with many novels in verse, the poems here do not stand independently, but in context they effectively convey Sissy's mental state.
