  1. I really liked how two pen-pals, Meena and River write to each other and become best friends. It was very cool how they told each other things that they told no one else and they helped each other with their problems and they answered each others questions.

  2. I like how this book is all in letters and I think it would inspire people to have better conversation when they wright a letter to someone.

  3. A thing I like about this book is that the kids are so far away from each other and how they both keep learning new thing about were they live.

  4. I just started this book and it seems really interesting. I like how the story is really well crafted through the emotions of the different characters. I like River because of his name. I mean it's a really cool name. I hope Meena and River get to meet somewhere in the book.

  5. In this book like how River tells Meena that he looked up India on the internet and said that Kentucky looks a lot like India.

  6. I can't believe that River wrote that Meena was weird. I mean that's a little mean don't you think?

  7. I think Meena doesn't quite understand the feel of N.Y. I think she thinks that everyone thinks that all people are equal. She doesn't understand the social rules of the U.S.A

  8. Wow this book has some big surprises so far so be ready for a couple strange twist. I also like how in this book both the kids have dogs except for Meena she just visits a dog everyday.

  9. I think that River has a real big problem with the mountain top removal. I feel so bad for all those poor mountains and the people who are affected by it.

  10. I think that Meena does not like living in New York as much as she liked it in Missoorie, India. I noticed that River and Meena get angry at each other a lot.

  11. I am sad that Meena's grandmother died. I think this added an emotional concept for people to relate to.

  13. I found it interesting that River's grandma organized a rally to stop MTR, (Mountain Top Removal.) I felt happy that River participated in the rally to.

  14. I have finally finished this book. I don't want to give away any spoilers though! Let's just say I really love the bond between River and Meena. They are completely different but they still figured out how to communicate like they were talking to themselves.

  15. This book was one of my favorite books to read. I loved the feeling that two totally different people can write to each other and still have a great relationship. The whole part about them being pen pals is really cool! I think it would be really cool to have pen pal that has a different heritage or living style!!!
