Verse novels aren't especially common or popular, though a few have broken through. You may have read an Ellen Hopkins book during their burst of popularity, or may have been assigned Sharon Creech's Love That Dog in school. It's a shame that more people don't read these books as verse novels are a great way to explore a concept through a character's internal, emotional journey. Here are six verse novels for kids and teens published in the past six months.
6 new verse novels:
- Being Toffee by Sarah Crossan
- The Places We Sleep by Caroline Brooks DuBois
- Beauty Mark by Carole Boston Weatherford
- The Canyon's Edge by Dusti Bowling
- Punching the Air by Ibi Zoboi
- Junk Boy by Tony Abbott
