What this book is about

In this verse novel sequel to Love That Dog, Jack has a new school year with Miss Stretchberry. He hates a neighbor's cat — or does he? — and continues writing poems modeled on the poets he's studied, processing his ongoing memories of his dog Sky. Creech's follow-up is slimmer but equally warm, with more poems and poets woven into Jack's voice.
