Book Genre: Dual PenPal Autobiography Summary:In 1997, Caitlin's class got to write to a pen-pal in another far-off place. Caitlin was the only one in her class who chose Zimbabwe, a place in Africa. What she didn't know was that choice was about to change her life. Meanwhile, Martin is an excelling student in his little school in Zimbabwe who got to have first pick of the only ten letters that arrived to his class. His choice in the letters would also change his life. When Caitlin slips a money sample in the letters and gifts they continue sending to each other, Martin realizes that her money is worth tons of his money type, and he knows that Caitlin can help him and his family survive through poverty. The letters soon changed into something bigger and better, and for over over six years these two forever friends changed each other's lives. Personal Review:I seriously thought it was a great book. The touching parts mixed perfectly with the silly parts and the sweet parts. I also thought it was a great idea to include some of the images they sent each other in their letters. I thought it was pretty cool and it added a nice touch. It also makes you more aware of how people live in poverty and hunger in our poorer parts of the world. It sure surprised me. Recommendations: I recommend this book for anyone who likes true stories or autobiographies, who wants to know more about how our world lives, or likes read a book with two authors and/or with different viewpoints.
