" I don't want to because boys dont write poetry, girls do." First sentence of this poem collection book. This is about a boy writing , listening and understanding poetry, while he is writing his poems he doesn't want his poems to give away who he is because he is a boy, and boys don't write poetry. As the poems and book goes on he says his opinions about  the poems that he hears and his thoughts on them. Soon when he needs to write a poem about a pet he rants on how he doesn't have one but he did but he doesn't want to write about it, but then he gets a yellow, silent black eyed dog.

I loved this book, I listened to it by audio and i was hooked, and it was truly interesting to me. Its written in a diary format  with dates included. And i bet its better in the hard copy. I liked how it was a boys vision changed so they knew that everything's not separate.
