Like many other well written Kevin Henkes book, Junonia is a story about a girl, named Alice Rice and goes to her beach cottage in Florida during the summer.

Abby Carson is failing sixth grade. It isn't that Abby can't do her schoolwork, it's just that she doesn't like doing it. When a warning letter is sent home, Abby realizes that all of her slacking off could cause her to be held back-for real! Unless she meets some specific conditions, including taking an extra-credit project: find a pen pal in a foreign country. Simply enough (even for a girl who hates homework). When Abby's first letter arrives at a small school in Afghanistan, Sadded Bayat is chosen to be her pen pal..... Well, kind of. He is the best writer, but he is also a boy, and in his village it is not appropriate for a boy to correspond with a girl. So, hi younger sister dictates and signs the letter-until Sadded decides what his sister is telling Abby isn't what he'd like Abby to know. As letters flow back and forth between Illinois and Afghanistan, Abby and Sadeed discover that their letters are crossing more than an ocean. They are crossing a huge cultural divide and a minefield of different life-styles and traditions. Their growing friendship is also becoming a growing problem for both communities, and some people are not happy. Suddenly things are not simple!

This book was very, very nice. I really enjoyed reading the letters that the brother wrote about his sister, and how the years went by. The ending of the book was great!

this book was absolutley and truly and fantastically just amazing. it really captures the light of Jonas' life as a kid in the future and the Giver-to-be. it honestly saddens me that he and his friends never got to experience color or feelings or even their own memory.:0

read this novel for school. a classic ww2 book, but a little unreasonable. a grown man falling in love with a twelve year old girl? not going to happen.

it is about a little boy who has been home schooled because he is scared people will make fun of him because he has had a lot of surgery done to his face then he he go to school and............................you should read it

So i read this book as sort of as an assignment and it was ok i guess. It could have been more exciting and i don't really like "classical literature." Overall, not bad, but i wouldn't read it for pleasure.

I didn't finish reading it but it's a good book, it's kind of confusing though at times but, over-all it's pretty good.
