I Will Always Write Back: How One Letter Changed Two Lives by Martin Ganda, Caitlin Alifirenka
4.0
I really liked this book!
Caitlin's side of the story was humorous, as I could relate to her junior-high girl drama, as well as her sensitive side, and how upset she gets that she and her friends make such big deals out of insignificant things, while Martin is struggling with life or death situations.
I enjoyed Martin's perspective as well, especially since I sponsor kids overseas through Compassion International. It was yet another way to try and see the world through their eyes.
I would recommend this to the junior-high and up crowd. It could be fun as a read-aloud for younger kids, if the reader makes some creative edits. (There are references to underage drinking and drugs, and Christian readers will want to be aware that there are at least two instances where "God" and "Jesus" are used as profanity.)
