Abby Carson is about to fail 6th grade unless she can do well on an extra credit project which involves writing to a pen-pal in another country. From the list of countries the teacher provides, Abby chooses Afghanistan and starts a correspondence with a girl called Amira. However, the letters are really being written by Amira’s brother who is the best writer in the village. When he lets Abby know the truth it causes serious problems in his community.
