Two Girls Staring At The Ceiling

Picture
Two Girls Staring at the Ceiling ©2014
If I don't tell 
anyone,
I can forget
it happened.

If I can forget 
it happened,
I'll never
have to tell.

"How're you doing Francesca?"
The doctor's face so kind
I almost cry.
"Not too good," I say.

Lucy Frank's novel-in-verse--at once literary and emotionally gripping--follows the unfolding friendship between two very different teenage girls who share a hospital room and an illness.
