Because I Am Furniture by Thalia Chaltas

This is another novel in verse.  Anke's father is abusive to her sister as well as her brother but leaves Anke alone.  She seems to be invisible to him.  She understands that this is a good thing but sometimes a small part of her just wants attention...any attention.  The author does a good job alluding to the abuse without being graphic about it.  This is Anke's story of finding her voice and finally making herself seen and heard.
