Third-Grade Book Club: Word with Wings by Nikki Grimes

This novel is constructed entirely of verses written by Gabby, a daydreaming girl who begins writing to escape the turbulent fights of her parents, guided by a new teacher who encourages her. The book is “a celebration of one girl’s indomitable spirit and of a teacher’s ability to reach out and change a life.”
