(2) 4-6 Vietnamese American seventh grader Matt has two passions--piano and baseball--and one secret: he feels responsible for horrific injuries his little brother sustained in Vietnam during the war. Matt's painful memories are adeptly captured by the fleeting but powerful images of Burg's free verse. Working through his past, Matt comes to understand that remembering can open the door to hope.
