I liked how Leight always wrote to his favorite author, even when the author rarely responed. I think it helped him become a better writer. I think it’s important for kids to write and through this book it shows kids that writing can make a difference.Also, I liked how in the book the boy talk about his problems. I felt when he wrote his problems down, it was like therapy for him.
