Tara's sister died a year ago, on the day that Tara didn't answer her phone when Hannah called.

And Hannah stepped in front of a bus. Now Tara lives with the guilt of wondering if things would be different if she had been there when Hannah needed her most. Competing in slam poetry competitions is the only way Tara can keep her sister's memory alive and deal with all the unanswered questions. But at some point, Tara is going to have to let Hannah rest in peace, and she will need to find a way to move on.

This short novel is a high-interest, low-reading level book for teen readers who are building reading skills, want a quick read or say they don't like to read!

      Tara copes with her sister Hannah's suicide by performing slam poetry. Her poems are presented in italics throughout the book; first-person narration describes performance aspects ("Here's where I speed up and get louder") and tells Tara's story. The dialogue occasionally strains for a teen voice, but detailed descriptions of the competitive slam poetry world are vivid and engaging.
