A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the YearWinner of the Paterson Prize for Books for Young PeopleArnold Adoff Poetry Honor Award This lyrical middle-grade novel-in-verse celebrates the power of story and of finding ones individual voice. Keet knows the only good thing about moving away from her Alabama home is that shell live near her beloved grandfather. When Keet starts school, its even worse than she expected, as the kids tease her about her southern accent. Now Keet, who can talk the whiskers off a catfish, doesnt want to open her mouth. While fishing with her grandfather, she learns the art of listening and gradually, she makes her first new friend. But just as shes beginning to settle in, her grandfather has a stroke, and even though hes still nearby, he suddenly feels ever-so-far-away. Keet is determined to reel him back to her by telling him stories; in the process she finds her voice and her grandfather again.
