I first read this book for a teen book club that I am involved in. I hated it at first but after the discussion I read it again and loved it.

This book is about some high school kids in a english class who's teacher has kind of like a poetry reading once a month usually on a friday. The students at first hate it but then they really get into it and everyone in the class learns stuff about each other. It's a really great book!
