Blurb from back: "Two years since he was evacuated out of Vietnam, twelve-year-old Matt Pin is struggling to suppress his memories of the deadly war that gripped his homeland. Circumstances beyond his control are about to make the memories come flooding back and reveal a horrid secret Matt thought he had left back in Vietnam."
Told in prose poetry, this book has a powerful message about love, forgiveness, and sorrow. The scene with Matt and the bully on the ball field, sharing their stories, is my favorite part.
