Dear Mr. Henshaw #2436 Leigh Botts has been author Boyd Henshaw's number one fan ever since he was in second grade. Now in sixth grade, Leigh’s parents have divorced and he lives with his mother and is the new kid at school. He's lonely, troubled by the absence of his father, a cross-country trucker, and angry because a mysterious thief steals from his lunch bag. Then Leigh's teacher assigns a letter-writing project. Leigh begins to write letters to Mr. Henshaw that describes his everyday trials and tribulations at school and home. In his letters he reveals his problems in coping with his parents' divorce, being the new boy in school, and generally finding his own place in the world. Then Mr. Henshaw’s surprising answer changes Leigh's life.
