As Freddie’s seeds grow in the Australian bush, so does his friendship with a secretive pen pal.
Pen pals
Dear Blue Sky
Shortly after Cass’s big brother is deployed to fight in Iraq, Cass becomes pen pals with an Iraqi girl who opens up her eyes to the effects of war.
Same, Same but Different
Pen pals Elliott and Kailash discover that even though they live in different countries–America and India–they both love to climb trees, own pets, and ride school buses.
The Year Of Secret Assignments
The Ashbury-Brookfield pen pal program was designed to bring together the “lowlife Brooker kids” (as they’re known to the Ashburyites) and the “rich Ashbury snobs” (as they’re called by the Brookfielders) in a spirit of harmony and the Joy of the Envelope. But things don’t go quite as planned. Lydia and Sebastian trade challenges, like setting off the fire alarm at Brookfield. Emily tutors Charlie in How to Go On a Date with a Girl. But it’s Cassie and Matthew who both reveal and conceal the most about themselves — and it’s their secrets and lies that set off a war between the two schools.
Mickey Moonbeam
Young Mickey, who lives on a faraway moon, receives a distress call from his pen pal, Quiggle, whose space scooter has crashed on a nearby asteroid, and they both get a big surprise when they finally meet face to face.
