Martin Ganda
Caitlin Alifirenka
The New York Times bestselling true story of an all-American girl and a boy from Zimbabwe and the letter that changed both of their lives forever. It started as an assignment... Everyone in Caitlin's class wrote to an unknown student somewhere in a distant place. Martin was lucky to even receive a pen-pal letter. There were only ten letters, and fifty kids in his class. But he was the top student, so he received the first one. That letter was the beginning of a correspondence that spanned six years and changed two lives. In this compelling dual memoir, Caitlin and Martin recount how they became best friends—and better people—through their long-distance exchange. Their story will inspire you to look beyond your own life and wonder about the world at large and your place in it.

"This book was super cute. It was an easy light read and made me want a pen pal a lot. Following them through their lives was super fun but I do think it gave a little too much attention to the girls boyfriends. I realize that she had to have some chapters because she is one of the two characters but her life honestly wasn’t that interesting."
