Abby doesn’t like doing schoolwork, and she’s about to fail sixth grade.  She makes a deal with her teachers that she will do all of her homework for the rest of the school year, get B’s on all the tests and quizzes, and do an extra credit project.  Her project:  find a pen pal in another country, share the letters with her classmates, design a bulletin board, and give a final report.  Abby begins exchanging letters with Amira in Afghanistan.  Or is Amira’s brother Sadeed really Abby’s pen pal?  Read this realistic book to find out what happens when Abby tries to get extra credit and the traditions of two countries clash.
