Description

When Lonnie was seven years old, his parents died in a fire. Now he's eleven, and he still misses them terribly. He misses his little sister, Lili, who was put into a different foster home because "not a lot of people want boys-not foster boys that ain't babies."

Despite the challenges he faces, Lonnie finds solace in his poetry and the support of his foster mother, Miss Edna, and his teacher, Ms. Marcus. Through his words, we see his heartbreak, his thoughtful perspective on the world, and his love for Lili and his determination to one day be reunited with her.

This poignant story of love, loss, and hope is written in a lyrical and accessible style, making it a powerful and moving read for anyone who has experienced loss or separation.
