The dance floor like a page approached, tread, scuffed, mooded over, pushed past.

About Me
- Beth Kephart
- Pennsylvania, United States
- I spend the daylight hours as the strategic planning and writing partner of a boutique communications firm. In the early mornings, I write. On perfect days I sit out on the deck, reading the work of others, which I sometimes review for the Chicago Tribune. I've had the good fortune, since I began publishing ten years ago, of being named a National Book Award finalist, an NEA grant winner, a Pew Fellowships in the Arts recipient, a Pennsylvania Council on the Arts winner, a Leeway Foundation award winner, and a Speakeasy Poetry Prize winner. GHOSTS IN THE GARDEN was a Book Sense pick.
UNDERCOVER Starred Reviews
- “Through Elisa’s poems, letters, and descriptions, Kephart perfectly plumbs the thoughts and feelings of an adolescent girl.” (Kirkus)
- “… readers will fall easily into the compelling premise and Elisa’s memorable, graceful voice, and have no trouble recognizing the teen’s quiet courage as she leaves her comfortable isolation, claims her own talents, and embraces the people who matter most.” (Booklist)
- “Neatly balancing action and contemplation, Kephart offers a plethora of images, ideas about literature and even some well-known poems along with a plot that will speak to many teens.” (Publishers Weekly)
- “... this is a book that no serious-minded teen will want to miss, and high-school teachers may also take note as it has a well-crafted and highly teachable text.” (School Library Journal)
