Title: A Kid's Review by Ellie B.
Review: Billie Jo is a farmgirl in 1935 facing difficult times. Dust storms have been sweeping up her family farm, destroying her father's crops and burying their possessions under mountains of dirt. And when a horrible accident scars her hands and takes her mother's life, Billie Jo just wants to give up.Told through poems written in free verse, Billie Jo describes her life as the dust storms attack. Be prepared to have your heart warmed by a young girl's story that you will never forget.Billie Jo was a memorable character. Her determination and kindness really stood out to me. Karen Hesse did a splendid job with writing this book. I've never read a novel of poems before like this. She did a nice job of capturing Billie Jo's fears and anxieties, her hopes and her strengths. I'd like to read another book like this again.
