A verse novel is a story that is told in the form of poems instead of regular sentences and paragraphs.
Instead of using one big block of text to tell a story, an author of a verse novel writes out each part of the story as if it were its own individual poem.
These poems are usually shorter and less descriptive than the paragraphs you'd find in a traditional story. They often focus on emotions and specific details or moments, rather than trying to describe everything that's happening in great detail.
Because the story is being told through the poems, the reader has to pay closer attention to the words, to how they sound, and to what they mean. The author might use different techniques like rhymes or repetition to make certain parts of the story stand out.
Overall, verse novels can be a really fun and creative way to tell a story, and can be a great way to get young readers excited about reading and writing poetry.
