Hokey Pokey by Jerry Spinelli

4.0

Beautiful, poetic, lyrical tale of the transition from childhood to adulthood. Took me a while to fall into the world and catch the vision, but once I did, I was hooked. Favorite bits: "His heart (was) an empty bike rack. The wind wailing through the blown-open hole in his soul." "Little kids drop like apples from monkey bars and swings and come running." "He thinks words cannot penetrate a turned back."
