Description:
Peace, Locomotion:
I'm gonna hold on to all these letters, and when we're living together again, they're gonna be the first present I give you...
Lonnie and his sister, Lili, have been sent to live with separate foster families, so he decides it's his job to be the "rememberer" - to write down everything that happens while they're growing up. Lonnie's musings are bittersweet; he misses his sister enormously, and with a foster brother in the army, concepts like Peace have a new meaning for Lonnie. This heartwarming companion to Jacqueline Woodson's National Book Award finalist Locomotion is told solely through Lonnie's letters, which are full of reflections on friendship, family, war, peace, and this crazy world we live in.
After Tupac and D Foster
D Foster showed up a few months before Tupac got shot that first time.
When D Foster enters Neeka's and her best friend's lives, their world opens up. D's the kind of girl who's been places and attracts attention.
Before long the three are inseparable, bonded by a passion for the music of Tupac Shakur. Then, all too soon, D's mom swoops in to reclaim D— and as magically as she appeared, she disappears from their lives. Tupac is gone, too, after another shooting— this time fatal. And the girls are left to ponder how even the briefest connections can touch so deeply....
Feathers
"Hope is the thing with feathers"
Though they're reading poems about it in school, Frannie hasn't thought much about hope. Instead, she's worried about her brother, concerned about her best friend's increasing holiness, and feeling fed up with the bullies at school. But then a mysterious new boy comes to school. He seems almost perfect, but maybe he isn't quite what he appears. Through his perspective, though, Frannie and her friends start seeing things in a different way.
Locomotion
Poetry in motion
When Lonnie Collins Motion-better known as Locomotion— was seven years old, his life changed forever. Now his life is about to change again. His teacher is showing him ways to put his jumbled feelings on paper. And suddenly Lonnie has a whole new way to tell the world about his life, his little sister, and the fire that took his parents away.
Hush
Evie Thomas is not who she used to be
Once she had a best friend, a happy home, and a loving grandmother living nearby. Once her name was Toswiah.
Now everything is different. Her family has been forced to move to a new place and change their identities. Evie deals by joining the track team and trying to reinvent herself in this new place. But when the kids are unfriendly and the terrain is unfamiliar, it's hard to figure out who you are and where you fit in.
Miracle's Boys
Lafayette Loves his Brothers
Still, he'd do anything to have things go back to the way they used to be-before their parents died, and before his brother Charlie got himself in trouble and turned mean. But things have changed, and now all Lafayette can do is wonder: What do you do when one of the few people you can rely on turns on you? And how are you supposed to survive when so much seems to be set against you?
The House You Pass on the Way
One life- Changing Summer
As the granddaughter of celebrities and the daughter of a mixed couple in an all-black neighborhood, Staggerlee avoids curious neighbors by keeping to herself. But then her cousin, Trout, comes to visit, and Staggerlee gets a taste of what life could be.
For the first time, Staggerlee has a friend-someone with whom she can share her deepest thoughts. But is Trout really the girl Staggerlee thinks she is?
From the Notebooks of Melanin Sun
The power of words
Melanin Sun is almost fourteen and has a lot to say about the world. But sometimes words come slowly, so he writes them down in his notebook instead of speaking his mind. Then his mom reveals a secret she's been keeping from him. A secret that will change him, and the way he thinks about things, forever....
