Booktalk
#1
Piper and Lindy are so much
alike. As a matter of fact, people think they are twin sisters.
In reality, Lindy is Piper's aunt! That's right. Piper's dad
is Lindy's brother. They live near each other and love being together.
Everything seems great until Piper's parents get divorced. There
are a lot of adjustments for Piper to make. And she finds all this
difficult. Escaping into her poetry, Piper finds a way through all
her changes.
Booktalk #2
Imagine that you have no control
over your family, and your family is falling apart. Your parents no longer
love each other, and you have no where to turn. However, you find that
you can express yourself through poetry, and you begin writing in order
to keep your sanity. Your writing helps you deal with the problems that
life brings your way. (Prepared by Kathleen McTeer, SCASL
