I had never heard of this book until someone lent this to me.
This is a historical fiction set in Oklahoma during the Dust Bowl in the 1930s. This book is told in verse, or a collection of poems. That being said, no one is more surprised than me that I loved this book.
It was haunting, real, and a very quick read.
Some say it is too dark for kids, I don't agree. Kids live this life, and with climate change will continue to face problems like these.
