Overview: Pookie Aleera is Not My Boyfriend is a charming and delightful little book about a group of school-kids living in a small rural Australian town. It’s written as a verse novel – each chapter is a short non-rhyming poem – but this isn’t the boring, difficult poetry you have to study at school: it’s honest, quirky, funny and sometimes heartfelt. The poems are written from many characters’ points of view – the cool kid, the funny kid, the bullied kid, the teacher, the janitor and even the police officer who visits the class to give a few speeches about safety. It’s easy to find a character to relate to, although are all pretty endearing. Rural Australian life isn’t always the most glamorous of topics, so I think it’s great that Pookie Aleera is Not My Boyfriend shows that country life can be, well, pretty awesome. It could help build connections with a sometimes overlooked group of people. I also like the way the author shows what it’s like to be bullied without lecturing the reader – he just gives each student a voice and encourages us to put ourselves in their shoes for a little while.
