(4) 4-6 Meena, an Indian immigrant girl in New York, and River, a boy from coal-country Kentucky, become pen pals. Through their letters, they help each other cope with family struggles, environmental disasters, and even death and homelessness. While occasionally heavy-handed regarding the issues, each letter writer’s voice is strong and distinct with the passion of budding adolescents. Sporadic visuals are included.
