After his parents separate, Leigh Botts moves to a new town with his mother. Struggling to make friends and deal with his anger toward his absent father, Leigh loses himself in a class assignment in which he must write to his favorite author. When Mr. Henshaw responds, the two form an unexpected friendship that will change Leigh's life forever.

Reviews for Dear Mr. Henshaw

A first-rate, poignant story ... a lovely, well-crafted, three-dimensional work. -- The New York Times Book Review Cleary succeeds again. [Her] sense of humor leavens and lightens ... -- School Library Journal Capably and unobtrusively structured as well as valid and realistic. -- Kirkus Reviews
