A 12-year-old Indian immigrant girl in New York City and a Kentucky coal miners son become pen pals, and eventually best friends, through a series of revealing letters exploring such topics as environmental activism, immigration, and racism. Illustrations. Even better than reading a refreshingly honest story by one talented writer is reading one by two such writers. -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) Pen pals Meena and River have a lot in common: fathers forced to work away from home to make ends meet, grandmothers who mean the world to them, and faithful dogs. But Meena is an Indian immigrant girl living in New York Citys Chinatown, while River is a Kentucky coal miners son. With honesty and humor, Meena and River (each voice distinctly articulated by a separate gifted author) bridge the miles between them, creating a friendship that inspires bravery and defeats cultural misconceptions.
