A teenage girl travels the path to her future in this powerful coming-of-age poetry collection. These poems explore the comfort of books, awe at the night sky, playground tricks and friendships, and first love conundrums. There are worries, anxieties, and questioning thoughts--but there's also courage, humor and hope, as one girl strikes out for the future, determined to dance to her own tune, find freedom, and be herself.
Always truthful, deeply perceptive, and understanding, this new collection from Rachel Rooney explores what it means to be a girl in the 21st Century. With distinctive black and white illustrations by a new illustrator.
