Things Left Unsaid: A Novel in Poems

(2) YA When high school sophomore Sarah is chosen to be a troubled girl's sidekick, Sarah begins to reinvent herself in Robin's image. The school-year shape of this novel-in-verse frames the story nicely, and Sarah's is a believable voice of a contemporary teen, reinforced by believable concerns. Despite some trouble with plot, Hemphill skillfully develops her theme in an accessible novel.
