Interest Level: Young Adult
Reading Level: 5.6
Lexile: 790L
Genre: Biography

Caitlin, a typical American middle school girl, and Martin, a poor boy from Zimbabwe, become pen pals. The friendship that develops is deep and changes them both of their lives. This book begins in 1997 with their first letter and ends eighteen years later. It is a heartwarming tale that will inspire the reader to try to make a difference in the life of someone other than themselves. 
I highly recommend this book. A quick read. I read it in a week and I am a slow reader.
