Book cart filled with books featuring the novel Spark.
One of the best parts of being a librarian is browsing the new cart and finding a treasure like this middle-grade verse novel by Chris Baron. 📚

I wanted to share some recent praise for my newest novel in verse Lilac and the Switchback! #kidlit #novelsinverse #middlegradebooks
Heat floods my cheeks
When your lips press into mine
“Oh God,” I moan into your mouth
When I feel your tongue against mine

Author photos of Rhonda DeChambeau and Gail Vannelli; cover art of TOP HEAVY (stylized illustration of a teen girl in a bathing suit in the water): “Striking a balance between sensitivity and authenticity can be tricky…I’m trying to approach the reality of negative perceptions about our bodies with honesty and integrity. But the question of how the writing will be received by young readers is always in the back of my mind.” Background is light lavender with muted gray inkwell and quill.
Author Interview: Rhonda DeChambeau on Writing a YA Verse Novel About Body Issues by Gail Shepherd Vannelli from Cynsations: cynthialeitichsmith.com/2025/05/new-... #YABooks #writing #novelsinverse #bodyissue @rhondadechambeau.bsky.social @gayleenwrites.bsky.social @vcfa.bsky.social
Headshots of Mitu Malhotra and Dr. Linda West, cover art for DiVERSE and quote: “… global stories and authors, and reflects an editorial commitment to promoting diverse and equitable representation within publishing. The represented verse novelists are resident in the U.K., Australia, the United States of America or United States Island nations, or Europe….”
Cover art: The Verse Novel; cover art: Inside the Verse Novel, cover art: Nothing Sacred, all by Dr. Linda Weste. Quote: “…what the verse novel does offer…is white space for contemplation—and perhaps because it favors revelation in increments, and gives voice to trauma in episodic lyric moments, readers are afforded breath, even as they register the depth charges of that trauma.”
Cover art for four middle grade verse novels: Kin; Other Words for Home; Inside Out & Back Again, Land of Cranes; quote: “The process of writing a character’s thought and speech draws on cultural knowledge, and entails an understanding of language production and function, and the cognitive processes behind language use—but any linguistic considerations still need to work in interplay with the poetic and narrative elements of a verse novel.”
