Stories told in
verse. Every line earns its place.
Middle grade novels written entirely in poetry. More emotional punch per page. For readers who feel everything — and the teachers who know it.
A full story. Told one poem at a time.
A novel in verse is exactly what it sounds like — a complete, full-length story told through connected poems rather than traditional prose paragraphs. Every stanza moves the plot. Every line carries emotion. They're faster to read than a chapter book but hit harder than almost anything else in middle grade fiction.
Our NIV titles are especially popular with reluctant readers and in classroom settings — poems feel less daunting and open doors for kids who think they "don't like reading."
I didn't know I was ten
until the world
started acting
like thirteen.
