I'll second Maia's recommendation of "A Ring of Endless Light." One thing I appreciate about that book is that Vicky doesn't realize for a long time that she is a poet. She rates herself low compared to her math/science genius siblings. So we readers (along with her grandpa) easily see how eloquent and thoughtful her words are, but it takes her a while to get it and to see how important her talent is, which makes it even more satisfying.
