This is a marvelous novel in two voices,an young Indian girl named Meena in New York City and an Appalachian boy named River in rural Kentucky. Their stories are told in a series of letters they exchange as pen-pals. Authentic interests and emotions color their shared experiences and readers will learn a great deal about two very different environments. Friendship is beautifully portrayed as something that grows over time and sustains us in difficult circumstances. Both boys and girls will enjoy reading Same Sun Here.
