Eleven-year-old Reenie's mother has died, and she's living with her grandmother in unfamiliar Minnesota. This epistolary historical novel follows Reenie's new friendship with reclusive old Mr. Marsworth, who lives on her paper route. Reenie is by turns vivacious, tenacious, and pensive as she draws Mr. Marsworth out of his shell, urges her brother to speak out against the Vietnam War, and uncovers a family secret. Reading list.
