"I was smitten, bitten by a love bug or somethingI didn't even care that I'd just been hit.I was in deep smit." Laura  Crapper, a seventeen-year-old combat-boot-wearing poet with spiked red  hair, renames herself Sister Slam and hits the road with her best  friend, Twig. On the way into the slam poetry world of New York City,  they hit a pig, get pulled over by the cops, fight with a poetry  contest's judge, lose the contest, get into two more fender benders,  fight with each other, and finally land on the front page of a newspaper  in New York City for their amazing impromptu performance at the famous  Tavern on the Green. The girls and their fresh style of poetry take the  city by storm, but when Laura's father back in Pennsylvannia has a heart  attack she must face her fears about home and the still-raw loss of her  mother. An inspiring romp of a coming-of-age story, written entirely in  Laura's in-your-face slam poetry style, that proves you don't have to  give up your home in order to live your dream.
