The cover had me worried there for a second: a book about basketball??
Except is isn't. Not really. Or not just. And I loved it.
This is about grief, and family, and being unable to communicate, and friends, and high school, and... Life, the universe and everything, basically.
The poems are short, powerful, and what is left unsaid is as much a part of the story as what written on the page.
I think the few chapters which take the form of 2-page comic books are a nice break for kids, so that they don't feel like they're drowning in poetry.
