Out of the Dust. It's poetry, good poetry. It is a bit messed up at times, but it stays pretty true to what actually happened during The Great Depression. I think that this book didn't feel like poetry, but is still poetry. I actually had to read this book for school (a poetry unit), but I really enjoyed it. I think that middle school students would like this book.

Love That Dog by Sharon Creech*****
Love That Dog is the heart-touching story about Jack and his poems. Jack is learning about poetry, and he has a whole slew of questions for his teacher. His teacher turns all the questions into poems, making Jack realize that poems are a good way to express his feelings about life, and his dog. Follow Jack through his poetry experience. I loved how short this book is. It's a seventy page book, but it has so much meaning. I know how Jack feels when he writes. It's sort of like this blog, but more localized. I really recommend this story to anyone, young or old.
