My Storied Year by Katie Proctor, Twyla Beth Lambert
5.0
I believe in order to be a good author of any kind of book, you must read that genre. It is clear that the author is well versed in middle grade fiction.
The book begins at the beginning of the school year. Dragon does not fit in. He lives in a mobile home with his mother, who is barely functioning, and his sister, Maya and De-Vine. Dragon has problems at school in part because he is dyslexic. When he finds out that they will be doing a lot of writing as part of their coursework, he is not happy.
This is a beautiful and moving story about how a boy finds his voice. I especially liked Dragon's free verse poems which were interspersed throughout the book. I highly recommend this book.
Thank you to Katie Proctor and Fawkes Publishing for the Advanced Reader's Copy.
