This book is amazing. It explores a tragedy a young man experienced and we follow him through his coping process. Initially, blinded by emotion, he heads out to make a terrible mistake-to seek his own vengeance. With wisdom from friends and family, he realizes his error and decides to make better choices to secure a great future for himself. The best part? It's told in poetry form. Poetry is something most lower-level learners hate because it's unapproachable. Not this. They will learn poetic rules and forms and not even realize it. They will learn about problem solving, empathy, grief, and pride and they won't. Even. Know. It.
