This compilation of both rhymed poetry and free-verse is so full of raw emotion and insight that the reader will be shocked to discover that the author is a not-quite-fifteen-year-old girl. Rhiannon Hennessey writes skillfully from her heart and soul, and relates to everyone, of any age, who has ever struggled with making sense of life, love and the universe.

The electronic age has tethered children to keyboards and diminished active play, which is the corenerstone of healthy development. Flawed government policies and market-driven biases have ignored developmentally appropriate practices to the detriment of our childrens' physical, cognitive, social, and emotional health. It is time to change course, for the benefit of our children and our society.
