Gone Fishing: A Novel in Verse

Gone Fishing: A Novel in Verse

Nine-year-old Sam loves fishing with his dad. So when his pesky little sister, Lucy, horns in on their fishing trip, heâ€™s none too pleased: â€œWhereâ€™s my stringer? / Somethingâ€™s wrong! / The princess doll does not belong!â€ All ends well in this winsome book of poemsâ€”each labeled with its proper poetic form, from quatrain to tercet. Together the poems build a dawn-to-dusk story of a father-son bond, of sibling harmony lost and foundâ€”and most of all, of delicious anticipation. Charming line drawings animate the poetry with humor and drama, and the extensive Poetâ€™s Tackle Box at the end makes this the perfect primer to hook aspiring poets of all ages.
