“It’s always such a treat to discover a gem of a book that tells a good story and captures the essence of people and places. Eva of the Farm does just that and is a perfect read for Poetry Month. Eva, a twelve year old from Eastern Washington, has lived a charmed life on her family’s orchard until recently, with her grandmother’s death, her best friend Chloe moving to Seattle, and the family farm facing foreclosure. As a writer, she makes sense of her world through her poetry which forms this novel in verse about family, friendship, loss and hope. Dia’s writing is so beautiful, and the form in which she has written this novel is unique. Recommended for children in grades 4-7 who like stories about real people with real problems and who relish the way authors use words to make their stories come alive.” —Linda, Mockingbird Books, Seattle.
