Lonnie Collins (aka Locomotion) is a poet and his narrative is sweet. These are his letters to his sister who is in a different foster home. The two of them are lucky to be in good homes, and his letters tell simple things about his life, but are heart wrenching. He falls in love with his nice substitute teacher. He's worried about his foster brother (who he's never met) coming home from the war. But the plot isn't what drives this sweet novel. It's the voice of Lonnie. Can I give him a hug now? :)
