Confined to bed with mononucleosis and missing baseball and (gasp!) even school, Kevin turns to his father''s books to keep himself occupied. Discovering a book on poetry, he begins to experiment with various poetic forms in a journal, and discovers that poetry isn''t the yawn he thought it was. A quick read, reminiscent of 2004 YRCA nominee LOVE THAT DOG by Sharon Creech.
