“Moving, thought-provoking, and brilliantly executed, this is the rare sequel that lives up to the promise of its predecessor.”

“Characters that readers will feel close to.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Moving . . . Spare, beautiful prose . . . lyrical. . . . The simple words are packed with longing and are eloquent about the ‘little things people don’t think real hard about,’ little things that reveal the big issues of family, community, displacement, war, and peace.”
—Booklist
“Woodson creates a full-bodied character in kind, sensitive Lonnie. Readers will understand his quest for peace, and appreciate the hard work he does to find it.”
—Publishers Weekly
