The In-Between

by Katie Van Heidrich

The author, Katie Van Heidrich did a great job writing this memoir in verse. The In-between is a book about a teen trying to get through middle school and learn about themself as her family deals with financial struggles and divorce. While there are some places that might be hard to get through, stick with them because you will not be disappointed. Using descriptive and precise words and some repetition Heidrich was able to show emotion and let us see into the mind of the character. If you like novels in verse this book is for you. The review was written by a Washington Middle School student.
