The Drue family moved from New York to Small Town, USA in the ’70s, and they may never fully fit in. Thirteen-year-old Sandy’s parents encourage her curiosity, her imagination, and her challenge of social conventions – but not without cost. Sandy and her brother are now learning about horses, cows, swimming pools, and guns. An artist and intellectual, their mother feels like she’s hosting foreign exchange students who never leave. Sandy loves the idea of this – both hosting foreign students and travelling the world. As a start, she begins writing letters to distant friends and to the universe, seeking answers to the biggest question she faces…whether there’s anyone bigger in charge. Writing with “infectious vitality”, Freund “perfectly channels the voice of Sandy in all her precocious naiveté” (Kirkus Reviews). MAILBOX has been compared to John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, by All4Women, and is for moms and dads, sons and daughters, people on the move, people who’ve already moved, people who might be movers-and-shakers or wish they were.
