 Have you ever had a pen pal? Reenie has a new paper route, and the letter she leaves her shut-in neighbor, Mr. Marsworth, to introduce herself leads to an ongoing letter exchange. In these letters, Reenie pours her heart out about the recent death of her mother, moving in with her grandmother, and the situation with the neighborhood bullies. Mostly she worries about her brother, Billy, being sent as a soldier to the Vietnam War. Read this book to understand the differing viewpoints about the USA’s involvement in the Vietnam War.
