一位男孩在經歷父母離異後, 與作家漢修先生書信來往中, 學會成長的過程,此書讀來感動人心,並成為青少年成長的關鍵時刻的最好生活指引。
Leigh Botts has been author Boyd Henshaw’s number-one fan ever since he was in second grade. Now in sixth grade, Leigh lives with his mother and is the new kid at school.
He’s lonely, troubled by the absence of his father, a cross-country trucker, and angry because a mysterious thief steals from his lunch bag.
Then Leigh’s teacher assigns a letter-writing project. Naturally Leigh chooses to write to Mr. Henshaw, whose surprising answer changes Leigh’s life.
