A review by jwinchell
Keesha's House by Helen Frost

3.0

By no means am I diminishing the many and important real-life issues Frost presents in this short work of verse, but Keesha's House reads to me like Ellen Hopkins-lite: Not great verse, too many characters, issue after issue after issue, too tidy resolution. I suppose for a reluctant reader this might be an ok pick, and it's an important addition to any collection. I just didn't find it particularly well written or compelling.
