Peace, Locomotion is the sequel to a story about a young orphaned poet being fostered and coming to terms with the death of his parents. In Peace, Locomotion, Lonnie “Locomotion” Collins grows closer to his young sister, who was adopted by a different family. He also learns more about his adoptive mother’s sons. When Lonnie writes to his sister, he stresses the fact that he and Lili, his sister, need to be the "rememberers". He wants to remember his parents and the memories they made together. Although he wants to remember his parents and sister, he begins to forget. He begins to make memories with his new family. I really like this book. It shows how young kids can have strong opinions and can be talented at lots of things. It proves that everyone can get through tough times, just like Lonnie did. I also like that the story is told through letters written by Lonnie to Lili and by Lonnie’s poems. I would give this story a 5/5. Written by Jenny Han Published in 2005 Lara Jean didn’t plan on falling in love. Her and Peter were just pretending, but when another boy comes into the picture her heart goes haywire. Is it possible to love two boys at once? In the sequel To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, Lara goes through heartache, friendship and sisterhood to find who she’s really supposed to be. Can she find a true relationship and still manage to take care of herself in the process? Although I greatly enjoyed the story I would only be able to give it 4 stars out of 5. I would completely recommend the novel to anyone who loves a good story about finding yourself and someone who loves you. Please don’t forget to check out the first novel, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and the last novel in the series, Always and Forever, Lara Jean. |
