This collection of poems represents life as seen through the eyes of a 13-year-old. Witty, deliciously wicked, and pensive in parts, this book will likely appeal to readers of all ages. It has a generous serving of fun, adventure, and fantasy tales that are sure to be enjoyed by children and young adults, as well as several poems that require readers to introspect by presenting new perspectives on common everyday occurrences, which older readers will find intriguing.
These poems will make readers not only laugh at the frailties of human nature, but also appreciate life's inherent limitations and inevitability. Balancing humorous observation with measured reflection, these poems present both the absurdity and gravity of everyday existence. After all, what could a suspicious goldfish, judgmental hoodie, and stubborn shoe have in common anyway?
