YA
The development of an old-fashioned epistolary friendship allows Mica, the daughter of an itinerant marine biologist, and Anna, the product of serial foster placements, to tentatively reach for security and self-confidence. Their long-distance relationship is forged and tested as both adjust to new homes. Pencil sketches of the objects in nature both girls love enhance this gentle tale of resilience and friendship.
