About the Book: Caitlin and Martins friendship all started out with a pen pal school project and turned into becoming family. With Caitlin living in the US and Martin living in Africa their friendship was no where near easy. Through hardship, fear and heartbreak their relationship grew stronger. Review: I was constantly in tears during this book, it was both happy and sad tears. This is definitely a book I would read again :) I don't think I have ever read a book that touched me so much in my life. I was captured from page one to the end page. I really was shocked how i felt some connected to the people real lives ever. It thought it really not only opened my eyes to the truth about cultures so different from mine but also about how a simple act of kindness and friendship can really change somebody life. I rec. this book to anyone and has def become one of my favorite reads of the year! I don't think I have ever read a book that touched me so much in my life.

I rec. this book to anyone and has def become one of my favorite reads of the year! If you need a heavy dose of reality about how amazing most of our lives really are, this book is for you. It made me look at my life differently and renewed a sense of gratitude that I think everyone could use a little more of. It paints a vividly colorful picture of life in another country and the impact that we can have on each other's lives through our actions and through telling our stories. Once I finished, I gave it to my pre teen straight away so we can share it. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

A ho-hum student gets intrigued by the idea of having a pen pal in Zimbabwe. They keep up a correspondence.
The first half of the book had my interest. In the latter part it began to drag because I expected success. Then the epilogue left me wondering what happened in between.
Another reviewer (Jenny (Reading Envy)) pointed out that there are some concerns about it being a totally true story. One that struck me as I read was: “Why would a penpal program exist for people who can't afford stamps or paper? …”
It was a delightful read. ( )
