Description/Notes
When Lonnie Collins Motion-Locomotion-was seven years old, his life changed forever. Now hersquo;s eleven, and his life is about to change again. His teacher, Ms. Marcus, is showing him ways to put his jumbled feelings on paper. And suddenly, Lonnie has a whole new way to tell the world about his life, his friends, his little sister Lili, and even his foster mom, Miss Edna, who started out crabby but isnrsquo;t so bad after all. Jacqueline Woodsonrsquo;s novel-in-poems is humorous, heartbreaking . . . a triumph. Through his own poetry, 11-year-old Lonnie Collins shares his heartbreak over his late parents and his love for his younger sister Lili, separated from him when they were placed in foster care. A 2003 National Book Award Finalist and a Coretta Scott King Honor Book.
