By Jacqueline Woodson
Lonnie, an eleven-year-old foster child, tells his story through a series of beautiful poems. We learn that he has lost his parents in a terrible fire, he is separated from his little sister who he adores, and that he is struggling everyday to recover and be the best person he can--under difficult circumstances.
This is a sweet and sad story of surviving, adapting, and growing up.
