Amanda Zieba Learning with the Word Nerd | First Chapter Friday Eb and Flow || Chapter 1 Novel in Verse Read Aloud Video and Author Interview @AmandaZiebatheWordNerd | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
Friday, April 19, 2024 - April is national poetry month and the perfect time to read this two perspective, contemporary novel in verse. Two kids, one fight. No one thinks they are wrong. I absolutely soared through this book and think middle grade readers will have the same experience. Fast paced, relatable characters, tense conflict. Listen in as I read chapter 1 and then get a copy for yourself so you can finish!
Blurb: Ebony and De’Kari (aka Flow) do not get along. How could they when their cafeteria scuffle ended with De'Kari's ruined shoes, Ebony on the ground, and both of them with ten days of at-home suspension? Now Eb and Flow have two weeks to think about and explain their behavior—to their families, to each other, and ultimately to themselves. Award-winning author Kelly J. Baptist delivers a novel in verse that follows Eb and Flow as they navigate their parallel lives. Single-parent homes, tight funds, and sibling dynamics provide a balancing act for the growing tweens. And whether they realize it or not, these two have a lot more in common than they think.
Grab your copy of Eb and Flow from your school or classroom library or if you can’t find it there, order it from Alex at my favorite indie bookstore: Birdy’s Bookstore. birdysbookstore.com/. It is also available for purchase on Amazon → amzn.to/3w76t5m
