About this book:
Gabby's world is filled with daydreams. 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.
Here's what our teachers are saying:
This is an inspiring story about a young girl named Gabby who finds solace and freedom in her imagination. I was captivated by Gabby's journey of self-discovery and her determination to embrace her unique voice. It's not only an enjoyable read, but it also encourages us to be creative and resilient like Gabby.
