I am not sure if I should say this is a book in verse or rhyme, there is a meter and a little rhyme, but not on every page...... Tell you what, you read it and decide....
BUT
First, I will say, I liked the simplicity of this book. It's sweet and it's one that I think most children and adults can relate to. It's about someone, who looks loney, is lonely and is need of a friend. That is when a smile and a single word can make all the difference in someone's life..... SAY HELLO.

It's hard to be a 'tween' but family makes all the difference. This is a story about a family tradition of summer get-togethers at the same beach house, each summer. This is a story of one summer of problems, and problem solvers, and first loves.
Told in free verse
this is the first few stanzas of the first poem:
******************************************
******************************************
FIRST SATURDAY IN JUNE
Fifty-nine days to go
I can't find my purple beach towel.
I can't even get to my closet.
without walking across
a sea of dirty socks
