(2) 4-6 Lonnie Collins Motion (Locomotion) continues his story in letters to his younger sister, who lives with a different foster family. He writes honestly and unsentimentally about their parents, his friends, and his foster brother fighting in Iraq. Lonnie's yearning for peace--for himself and his sister, for his foster family, for the world--comes across subtly yet powerfully.
