This book appealed to me with its theme of friendship and being true to yourself. However, I felt it fell flat and was not very eventful. It centers around 2 middle-school children, living in two different states. They know each other because they play an online game of Scrabble together. Each battling his/her own problem, they reach out to each other and yet do not share their problems. Charlotte's Dad has had a heart attack. Ben's parents are getting a divorce. I never felt like the stories connected in a real way. I was happy with their choices at the end, but I was not invested emotionally in either character. (FIC KEL)
