Writing up a short summary of these books has left me feeling as though I cannot clearly communicate the many facets of either story adequately. While it may seem easier to compose a story with so few words, my thoughts after reading Three Rivers Rising by Jame Richards just a few days ago and Kaleidoscope Eyes by Jen Bryant today, is that writing a story with so few words may actually be more difficult. I was trying to explain to my daughter, who was quite interested in the layout as she was paging through it, how very interesting these books are. Kaleidoscope Eyes by Jen Bryant is the second novel in verse I've read in the past week.
