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. Comments are closed.
