Why read it?
1 author picked One as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
One is a novel in verse I keep coming back to for the way it uses form to make the reader feel the emotional journey of its protagonists.
Crossan uses verse to capture the emotional intimacy of a relationship between two conjoined twins as they encounter challenges in everyday life, including grief. This book uses visual form so smartly and subtly to show us how these two depend on each other, as well as what it means for Tippie to find herself away from her twin.
From Meg's list on children’s stories in verse.
