Description
Leigh Botts has been writing to his favourite author, Boyd Henshaw, since he was in second grade. Now, at sixth grade, Leigh is struggling to cope with the absence of his father and dealing with the frustration of having things stolen from his lunchbag. To make matters worse, a mysterious thief seems to be targeting him. When Leigh's teacher assigns a letter-writing project, it's only natural that he chooses to write to Mr Henshaw. The response he receives is unexpected, but it sets off a chain of events that will change Leigh's life forever. As Leigh navigates his difficult circumstances, he begins to find solace in the words of his beloved author. This poignant story explores themes of loneliness, loss and the power of literature to bring people together.
