    “Book Descriptions: Laura Shovan’s engaging, big-hearted debut is a time capsule of one class’s poems during a transformative school year. Families change and new friendships form as these terrific kids grow up and move on in this whimsical novel-in-verse about finding your voice and making sure others hear it.

    Eighteen kids,
    one year of poems,
    one school set to close.
    Two yellow bulldozers
    crouched outside,
    ready to eat the building
    in one greedy gulp.

    But look out, bulldozers.
    Ms. Hill’s fifth-grade class
    has plans for you.
    They’re going to speak up
    and work together
    to save their school.
