Sharon Flake's You Don't Even Know Me: Stories and Poems about Boys: A Review by Howard!

I like the first poem titled "You Don't Know Me."  It's about how this boy has a friend that he talks to and his friend doesn't know anything about him.  He doesn't know about him because his friend always wants to talk about basketball and other sports, they could get to know each other if they meet each other in class because they sit right next to each other.  They also hang out in and outside of school, but all his friend wants to do is talk about sports.  This is why they don't know each other.  One thing I liked about this book was that I liked how it has a lot of poems about boys.  You might like this book if you enjoy sports and other things that boys and men do in life.
