Written by April Halprin Wayland

This is a short novel in poems. The poems are simple, sweet and to the point. However, the emotion and imagery behind these poems is magnificent. It tells the story of an entire school year of the girl. It shows the highs and lows of teenage life. I devoured this book in about 40 minutes and I loved every second of it. This book also really inspired me to read/write more poetry. I was never a poetry person and I usually don't like reading novels with poetry, but I decided to give this one a try. I definitely do not regret it, and I don't think you will either.
All in all, this was a really great read and I'd recommend it to anyone.
  








You walk into this room at your own risk, because it leads to the future, not a future that will be but one that might be. This is not a new world, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time. It has refinements, technological advances, and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom. But like every one of the super states that preceded it, it has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and truth is a menace.
