Buttermilk Hill

Acclaimed author Ruth White has penned many novels including a Newbery Honor Book. Piper's dad moves out of their house. She doesn't understand and hates that very big, ugly word-DIVORCE. But, Piper's poetry helps her cope with all the changes in her world as she realizes that she has to make some very important decisions of her own. The delightful talents of Nancy Wu gives voice to the poetry as it is meant to be heard. "This is a good balance of happiness and hard knocks, and many readers will recognize what Piper is up against when it comes to family life."-Booklist
