Tour: You Won’t Know Her Name by Shanti Hershenson

A COMING STORM
There lives a little girl
Whom you will never learn the name of
But she exists; she’s real in these pages
Her features, you may never learn
But you can know one thing
She is a survivor
Or, she thinks she is
She thinks she’s faced the worst storm
But that’s a lie, and things are only calm
Because a deadly hurricane is coming

THREE DAYS LATE
The Girl is starting middle school three days late
Once because of a car accident
Then, because of a tragedy
And lastly, because of what is supposed to be good news
She’s moving to a new school

WALKING THROUGH THE DOORS
The Girl walks through the doors for the very first time
Her sister by her side
She takes in a deep breath
Other kids flooding around her
The public school is like nothing she’s ever seen before

LOST IN THE DARK
The school floors are grey
They feel dark and dreary
And for The Girl, everything feels like a nightmare
She is lost and cannot find the way

HEADING TO THE CLASSROOM
The Girl is given a fresh slip of paper
With bold lettering telling her where to go
It’s like a map, and it gives her a classroom number
She needs to go there soon, or else she’ll be horribly late
On her already chaotic first day

STAIRS AND STARES
The Girl hurries up the stairs
And makes it to a large door
Where she can hear voices inside
Preparing to start the day
And with her backpack slung over her shoulder
She steps inside, and is met with the stares
Lots and lots of stares

TOO MANY CLASSMATES
Up until this point,
The Girl had attended private school
But now she’s struggling to fit in In a new city
With too many classmates
That she does not know
She’ll come to learn their names, in time
But for now, they are strangers, and she is alone

INTRODUCTION
She is asked to introduce herself to her classmates
To make new friends in the process
“Hey, my name is-”
It’s important for you to not know her name
“-and I like a few things.”
She explains how she likes to read and write
And the shows she watches
The movies she likes
The games she plays
She’s a normal, innocent child

Shanti Hershenson’s first two novellas were published
when she was in the sixth grade, although her writing journey started long
before then. Ever since she could hold a pencil, marker, or crayon, she was
creating stories. They started from pictures, mere scribbles, and eventually,
turned into captivating tales.
