"Using free verse to tell Teagan's story helps the reader connect with the 10-year-old and how she navigates the world around her. It also gives the narrative a slightly fractured feel that supports the emotions Teagan feels as she navigates new situations. Seeking Draven is a good story for any reader in this age group. It demonstrates the slippery slope of trying to fit in, accepting hard truths, and remaining true to yourself. "
