About the Book

 

Technically, It’s Not My Fault (also by John Grandits, published in 2004) was written from the perspective of a boy named Robert. Blue Lipstick is written from the perspective of that boy's sister, Jessie.

Both books are examples of Concrete Poetry a form of poetry where the words are laid out in shapes, which help tell the story. 

The book is visually interesting and a short read.

 

Reviews

Voted one of School Library Journal's Best Books of 2007  "This irreverent, witty collection should resonate with a wide audience."
