Written entirely through letters and diary entries, sixth grader Leigh Botts writes to his favorite author Boyd Henshaw. Leigh asks Mr. Henshaw questions about being an author while also opening up about living with his mother and feelings of abandonment by his truck driving father and problems at school. Mr. Henshaw's replies and advice help change Leigh's life.
