Also Known as Harper


Also Known as Harper by Ann Haywood Leal


Writing poetry helps fifth-grader Harper Lee Morgan cope with her father's absence, being evicted, and having to skip school to care for her brother while their mother works, and things look even brighter after she befriends a mute girl and a kindly disabled woman.


My Thoughts - Harper was an endearing character that showed so much strength! I really enjoyed getting to know her! Her story is amazing to me because I don't know how I would handle her life situation.
