'He's do-wrong Ron

who does the wrong things at the wrong time

or the right things at the wrong time

or the wrong things at the right time.

until he finds Charlie

the guinea pig who looks like an oversized rat

and they meet Isabelle

who is waiting for something

anything

to happen.

And when Ron plans a musical welcome for Isabelle's nana, anything just might happen. Written in vivid prose-poem snapshots, this is an engaging, illustrated story book for young readers.'

Works about this Work

Writing the Young Adult Verse Novel : An Interview with Three Authors Elizabeth Claire Alberts , 2013 single work interview
— Appears in: Axon : Creative Explorations , March vol. 3 no. 1 2013; 'The contemporary verse novel for children and young adults, a hybrid genre that combines poetry and narrative, emerged concurrently in Australia and the United States in the late 1990s, and has continued to proliferate. In this interview, Elizabeth Claire Alberts discusses the young adult verse novel with three award-winning writers—Helen Frost, Steven Herrick and Ronald Koertge. The initial questions investigate how these authors position themselves, and their texts, within the verse novel genre—a classification that has been problematic because of its terminological implications. The subsequent questions consider the thinking and writing processes involved in creating a young adult verse novel, and if—and how—these processes differ from the creation of prose narratives or other types of poetry. Several questions explore the collaboration between poetry and narrative, and how these authors deal with the dualistic demands of the verse novel form. The creative processes involved in writing young adult verse novels have not been thoroughly discussed in contemporary theory, and the responses from Frost, Herrick and Koertge offer an enlightening perspective of writing in this form.'
