(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Jennifer Emery. The thirty-four linked free-verse poems detail a boy's move with his family from Massachusetts to Ohio. Twelve-year-old Fletch goes through a range of emotions, from his vow that "I'm not moving. / Uh-uh. No way" ("Unmovable") to the observation that "I guess, with luck, I'll fit in, too" ("Leaves"). Authentic feeling resonates throughout, and the fragmented, sketchlike illustrations reflect Fletch's evolving mindset.
