Confession: I read this book twice.
My favorite stanza:
106
"So many things
I know about myself
I've learned from others.
Without someone else to listen,
to judge,
to tell me what to do,
and to choose
who I am,
do I get to decide for myself?"
Confession: I liked this book so much I made my pets pose with it...
...all my pets.
Confession: I liked it so much, I'm giving away a free copy to one lucky reader!
A novel in verse, MAY B. tells the story of a young girl who, after being separated from her family and left alone on an unfamiliar homestead, faces blizzards, starvation, wolves, and her own self-doubt as she fights for survival on the Kansas prairie. Though it's marketed for Middle Grade readers (8-12 years old), MAY B is a book readers of any age will enjoy. A story of self-empowerment and strength, of fighting your way through the hard times, MAY B inspires.
