Catching a Storyfish by Janice N. Harrington
3.0
*Actual rating: 3.5*
Katharen (nicknamed Keet) and her family travel from Alabama to Illinois in order to be closer to her grandfather. In her new school, instead of being a talkative storyteller, she ends up keeping herself silent as the other kids tease her for her southern accent.
I enjoyed the connection between Keet and her grandfather. She really looks up to him in times of support as her grandfather gives her life lessons in the form of fishing metaphors.
In verse, it's a simple yet powerful and heartfelt story about family, friendship, and finding yourself.
