Publisher Description
There's
more to me than
most people
see.
Twelve-year-old Willow would rather blend in than stick out. But she still wants to be seen for who she is. She wants her parents to notice that she is growing up. She wants her best friend to like her better than she likes a certain boy. She wants, more than anything, to mush the dogs out to her grandparents' house, by herself, with Roxy in the lead. But sometimes when it's just you, one mistake can have frightening consequences . . . And when Willow stumbles, it takes a surprising group of friends to help her make things right again.
Using diamond-shaped poems inspired by forms found in polished diamond willow sticks, Helen Frost tells the moving story of Willow and her family. Hidden messages within each diamond carry the reader further, into feelings Willow doesn't reveal even to herself.
Diamond Willow is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.
Customer Reviews
Really good
I am reading this in school and it is really good but is a little sad, if you are one of those people that don’t get to attached to the characters or like Emotional story’s this is for you
I love this book so much
When I was in battle of the books I tried reading the smallest book first and when I read it I was in love with it! After battle of the books I came back to the book and read it again and then again and again and then I got tired of checking it out from the library so I buoyed it. All I’m trying to say is that it is a good book and you should read it
