Reading the entire poem aloud is the first step you should take once you have chosen a poem to memorize.
Memorizing one part at a time is a good memorizing strategy to use for this poem.
I loved this book lol anyway the problem in the book was all the people/ characters in the book who were "evil" and how they solved it was trying to become it's friend or fighting and defeating it. The two main characters were Jesse and Leslie who were best friends. They both have big imaginations and decided to build a secret land together.
