	Comment after you read: At the BCCLS Mock Printz meeting I had to cover my ears not to be spoiled but I know this is a favorite among them to win the Printz this year. I would say it’s definitely a contender, but it wasn’t a perfect book. I loved the premise and thought that the interactions between all of the characters were great. I didn’t love the poetry interludes and almost think the book would have worked better as a Jodi Picoult-esque novel where Jenna, the mother, the grandmother, Ethan, Allys…even Dane who I never really thought we got enough of to be important. Mary Pearson’s writing is lovely though. I loved A Room on Lorelai Street and definitely pick up her next book.
