(3) 4-6 Separated from his siblings after his parents' deaths, fourteen-year-old Amir yearns to reunite his family. Letters between Amir and his friend Doris show Amir's gradual acceptance of his foster family. In this sequel to The Gift-Giver and Yellow Bird and Me, Hansen presents a touching portrait of a boy struggling to figure out what he wants and what is right, and a friendship that gives him the strength to do so.
