However, what began as an escape from her parents' arguments has now taken over her life. But with the help of a new teacher, 'Gabby the dreamer' might just become 'Gabby the writer' and the words that once carried her away might allow her to soar. Written in vivid, accessible poems, this remarkable verse novel is a celebration of imagination, of friendship, of one girl's indomitable spirit, and of a teacher's ability to reach out and change a life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eCoretta Scott King Author Honor book\u003cbr\u003eNCTE Notable Children's Books in the English Language Arts\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKirkus Reviews Best Book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author \u003cb\u003eNikki Grimes\u003c\/b\u003e is the recipient of the Coretta Scott King-Virginia Hamilton Award for Lifetime Achievement, the ALA Children's Literature Legacy Award, and the NCTE Award for Excellence in Poetry for Children.
