I read Oreo a few years ago and wild is right! It was smart and funny and thought provoking. I'm in the holds queue at the library for Jericho Brown's collection. I hate waiting, but I also love that there is a holds queue at the public library for a poetry collection!

I think what I loved most about Oreo is that she wandered around the city having adventures but she was never in danger or facing a sexual threat. It was so liberating to read. More Paulsen is a great idea but I would also recommend Jean Craighead George’s classic My Side of the Mountain for a Hatchet lover.
