Same Sun Here (297 Pages)

Silas House and Neela Vaswani are the two authors of this delightful book. Each author becomes the voice of the two main characters in Same Sun Here. The book is current,  and describes real problems the two young teens are facing. They become best friends as a result of a Pen Pal assignment, but when all the others "peeter out,"theirs continues. River is a young man living in Kentucky. Meena is a young lady if Indian decent living in New York City. Both these kids are able through their letters to create a book that explains how poverty, immigration, end environmental problems can affect innocent children.  It is a wonderful read, and how I enjoyed getting to know these two young adults!
