内容简介

Engrossing tales from the fifth grade "Every child is like ""A little world with ever-changing weather, ""Nights and mornings. And somehow, here we are, ""Spinning through the universe together."" "Unforgettable students in this fifth-grade classroom reveal their private feelings about birth and death, a missing bicycle and a first kiss, as well as their thoughts about recess, report cards, fitting in, and family. Using a rich array of traditional poetic forms, such as sonnets, sestinas, and acrostics, Helen Frost interweaves the stories of the kids in Room 214 and their teacher. A final section giving detailed analyses of the twenty-two forms will be of special interest.
