Dear Whiskers

Jenny hates pretending to be a mouse, but that's exactly what she has to do for her school project. Every fourth grader is writing letters to a second grader—in mouse character. Most of her classmates think it's fun, but Jenny can't think of much to say. When she fails to get a letter from her second grader, Sameera, Jenny is embarrassed and angry.

Soon Jenny discovers the reason behind Sameera's silence: she doesn't speak English. At first Jenny is mad that her project is a flop. But later she sees how hard it is for Sameera in her new country. Will Jenny decide to use her project to help the new girl fit in? Or will she trade her in for another second grader?
