Occasionally, new books are released that are written in the form of poetry. That is to say, the entire story is told through one poem (or, more often, many different poems) that push the character and plot development forward.
This is such a creative way to tell a story! Here are some examples of books written this way that I’ve enjoyed.
1. Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse
2. Sold by Patricia McCormick
3. The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo
4. Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson
5. The Crossover by Kwame Alexander
6. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight by Unknown
7. Booked (The Crossover, #2) by Kwame Alexander
8. Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo
