Where I Live

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Matt Phelan. When Diana discovers that her father lost his job and their family has to move, she laments leaving home and her best friend. The first-person free verse is elegant (though not always believable as a child's voice); the resolution is a bit facile. The book's careful design and Phelan's sweetly simple illustrations bolster the spare writing style.
