Because I Am Furniture

This book is about a girl who lives in an abusive household named Anke. Her siblings Yaicha and Darren are beaten and yelled at everyday, but she is completely ignored. Even if she makes a mistake, the words are for her, but the yelling is at them. This girl feels as though she doesn't exist and is like a lamp or a chair in the corner. She wants to be noticed.
This book sounds pretty typical and boring. But because of the prose it is written in,it is smooth flowing poetry that doesn't have corny rhymes or randomly ending sentences. This isn't the best in the world, but it is no where near the worst. This book has wit, character development and a well-paced storyline. You will follow along Anke's story of self development during her freshman year of high school. She learns to face her fears and discovers herself in the process.
