Description

If your house were on fire, what one thing would you save? Newbery Medalist Linda Sue Park explores different answers to this provocative question in linked poems that capture the diverse voices of a middle school class. For children aged 8-12 years, the book uses line structure inspired by sijo, a form of traditional Korean poetry.
