This novel in verse is a beautiful coming-of-age story. Xiomara Batista lives in Harlem where she feels nobody pays attention to her. She secretly writes her frustrations in a notebook in the form of poetry. When she is invited to attend her school's poetry club, she is hesitant at first, but she once she does, her life is changed. This is a great novel in verse. It is about how X finds out who she is. I strongly recommend this novel to students who enjoy poetry and those who enjoy realistic fiction.
