Locomotion by Jacqueline WoodsonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a really great example of Free Verse poetry. I really like novels written in poetry format! I think books such as these are great to recommend to reluctant readers because they are such quick reads. While the subject matter of this particular book is pretty deep, its not at all too much for an upper elementary or middle school student. A boy lives separated from his sister in a foster home because his parents died in a fire. They were unable to stay with relatives, but have both found good homes...unfortunately they just don't have the same home. It is very touching and I'm looking forward to reading the sequel..."Peace, Locomotion"
