Stella Endicott loves her teacher, Miss Liliana, and she is thrilled when the class is assigned to write a poem. Stella crafts a beautiful poem about Mercy Watson, the pig who lives next door a poem complete with a metaphor and full of curiosity and courage. But Horace Broom, Stella's irritating classmate, insists that Stella’s poem is full of lies and that pigs do not live in houses. And when Stella and Horace get into a shouting match in the classroom, Miss Liliana banishes them to the principal’s office. Will the two of them find a way to turn this opposite-of-a-poem day around? In the newest spirited outing in the Deckawoo Drive series by Kate DiCamillo, anything is possible even a friendship with a boy deemed to be (metaphorically speaking) an overblown balloon.
Book Features:
- A great springboard for classroom discussions about poetry, metaphors, the solar system, and friendship.
- Features Stella Endicott, Mercy Watson's young neighbor, in a classroom setting.
- The fifth book in the Deckawoo Drive series.

Industry Reviews
--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
DiCamillo regularly uses advanced vocabulary and seamlessly weaves word definitions into the plot. With metaphor as a primary concept, this text could easily be used in a classroom curriculum. Van Dusen's illustrations are delightful as always, and enhance the story with their humorous and exaggerated quality. -An engaging and high quality book for young students that will appeal to reluctant and advanced readers alike.
