#YA readers: there is so much depth to the storytelling in Martine Leavitt's latest #NovelInVerse WHENEVER YOU ARE from @groundwoodbooks.bsky.social. It's more than just the disappearance of an incarcerated youth. It's about poetry, time, & more canlitforlittlecanadians.blogspot.com/2026/09/when...

Book cover of "Whenever You Are" by Martine Leavitt shows the head silhouette of a young man with two squares of jail bars on the face. One square includes the silhouette of a young man.
