A book in which the story is told through poetry is called a novel in verse. These books can fall in any genre: nonfiction, mystery, fantasy, realistic, and much more. Novels in verse don’t use a traditional prose format, instead relying on poetry and stanzas to tell stories across a wide variety of topics. Below you will find a list of juvenile novels in verse. As of this writing, all of these titles are owned by the Davenport Public Library. Descriptions are provided by the publishers.
